Primary psoas muscle abscess diagnosed and treated during pregnancy: case report and literature review.
Infect Dis Obstet Gynecol. 2004 Sep-Dec; 12(3-4):147-9.ID

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Primary psoas muscle abscess is rare and can be difficult to diagnose, particularly during pregnancy.

CASE

To our knowledge, this is the first case of primary psoas muscle abscess diagnosed during pregnancy. Clinical investigation did not reveal any infection spreading from adjacent structures. Surgical drainage and simultaneous Cesarean delivery of the infant, combined with appropriate antibiotics, enabled a cure.

CONCLUSION

The possibility of psoas muscle abscess should be taken into account when investigating lower back pain during pregnancy if conventional approaches are unsatisfactory.
