Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1991
From 1961 to 1989, 67 patients underwent various surgical procedures for psoas abscess. Retrospective analysis was undertaken in an effort to determine optimal surgical therapy. Forty patients were cured with one operation. Twenty-one patients required two operations, four patients required three operations, and two patients required more than three ...

Psoas abscess is a rare condition, and is classified as either primary (haematogenous spread from a distant infection) or secondary (local spread from an infective process). In the past, secondary cases resulting from spinal tuberculosis (TB) were the most common,1 but this has changed with the fall in prevalence of TB in many parts of the world.

Journal of Urology, 1987
Infectious processes in the retroperitoneal space often involve the psoas muscle. These infections usually are secondary to other intra-abdominal or intrapelvic inflammatory processes but rarely they will arise primarily within the retroperitoneum. These primary infections occur most often in younger patients and usually will demonstrate a chronic ...

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1985
In children, psoas abscess does not head the list in the differential diagnosis of the child who presents with a limp or lower abdominal pain. Therefore, the road to this diagnosis can be long and complicated leading to numerous studies and specialty consultations. Over a 7-year period, seven psoas abscesses have been drained surgically.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1987
Recurrence of a psoas abscess in exactly the same location is very unusual--in fact, we found no other reports in the literature. Laparotomy performed after the patient presented with the second abscess revealed an impacted calculus and diverticulitis of the appendix as the cause. Computed tomography was effective in establishing the diagnosis, but the

Primary extrapulmonary pneumococcal disease has become a rarity in modern times. We describe a 40-year-old patient who developed an abscess of the psoas muscle as the only evidence of pneumococcal disease. A predisposing local condition was prior trauma of the psoas muscle, documented by the existence of myositis ossificans circumscripta.

Imaging-negative psoas abscess
The Lancet, 2014In April, 2012, a 55-year-old man came to our emergency department with acute-onset left lower abdominal pain that had persisted for 12 h. He had been on haemodialysis for 20 years because of diabetic nephropathy. On examination, his temperature was 37·8°C and other vital signs were normal. The patient dragged his left leg when walking.

Psoas abscess in hemodialysis patients
International Urology and Nephrology, 2009The insidious onset and occult characteristic of psoas abscess can cause diagnostic delays, resulting in high mortality and morbidity rates. Here, we investigated the characteristics of psoas abscess in hemodialysis patients.This study was carried out in eight patients with psoas abscess who were admitted in our hospital.
