    Pyogenic sacroiliitis (PSI) from pumice injection can mimic other conditions. Computerized tomography (CT) effectively diagnoses PSI and guides surgical treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Pyogenic sacroiliitis (PSI) presents with non-specific symptoms, often mimicking herniated discs or arthritis.
    • Physical examination findings for PSI can be misleading, potentially delaying diagnosis.
    • Initial radiographic imaging is frequently normal in early stages of PSI.

    Observation:

    • A case of PSI complicated by iliopsoas abscess following pumice injection in a 32-year-old woman.
    • Gallium and technetium scintiscanning showed an inflammatory pelvic focus but lacked specificity.
    • Computerized tomography (CT) detected interosseous gas and a soft tissue abscess.

    Findings:

    • CT scans precisely delineated the lesion's location and extent within and around the sacroiliac joint.

  • CT facilitated the selection of an optimal surgical approach for the patient.
  • Follow-up CT studies allowed for objective assessment of treatment outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • CT scanning is a valuable tool for diagnosing pyogenic sacroiliitis and associated abscesses.
    • Accurate imaging is crucial for effective surgical planning and management of PSI.
    • Objective monitoring of treatment response in PSI can be achieved through serial CT evaluations.
