    This study reviews six psoas abscess cases, noting Staphylococcal infections in primary cases and the diagnostic role of imaging. Secondary abscesses are linked to underlying syndromes, with urologists increasingly managing these retroperitoneal infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Psoas abscess, a retroperitoneal infection, presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Understanding etiologic, pathogenic, and therapeutic aspects is crucial.
    • The increasing involvement of urologists highlights expertise in retroperitoneal surgery.

    Observation:

    • Six cases of psoas abscess were analyzed: three primary and three secondary.
    • Staphylococcal infections were predominant in primary psoas abscesses.
    • Secondary psoas abscesses were associated with recognizable clinical syndromes.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic difficulties for psoas abscess are significant but aided by modern imaging like ultrasonography (echography) and computed tomography (TAC).
    • Primary psoas abscesses are often caused by Staphylococcus.

  • Secondary psoas abscesses are secondary to other clinical conditions.

    • Implications:

    • Advanced imaging techniques improve psoas abscess diagnosis.
    • Urologists are increasingly managing psoas abscesses due to their surgical expertise.
    • Recognizing psoas abscess as an epiphenomenon of other syndromes is key for secondary cases.
