[Spondylogenic psoas abscess: long-term follow-up after percutaneous drainage].

Iliopsoas abscesses originating from bacterial lumbar spondylodiscitis were successfully treated by CT-guided percutaneous abscess drainage, antibiotics, and immobilization in two patients. Vertebral fusion of the affected segments was observed in both patients in the follow-up period (1 and 6 years, respectively). Percutaneous abscess drainage can replace surgery for iliopsoas abscesses following vertebral osteomyelitis.

Primary psoas abscess.

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 illness in which the diagnosis often is missed. We describe a 22-year-old man with a 2-year history of symptoms before the diagnosis was confirmed. The clinical presentation of the process and pathophysiology are discussed briefly.

Escaped faecalith causing a persistent psoas abscess.

Faecaliths have been widely implicated in the aetiology of acute appendicitis. According to Shaw, stones are formed in the appendix with greater frequency than in either the gall bladder or the urinary tract. In spite of this, faecaliths appear to cause few complications outside the appendix. We report an unusual complication resulting from an escaped appendiceal faecalith.

[A case of psoas abscess with ureteral stone].

A 62-year-old diabetic woman with right hydronephrosis was referred to our department, presenting right back pain and high fever. A ureteral stone with right hydronephrosis was pointed on DIP. Although the calculus was removed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, persistent high fever continued. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mass in the retroperitoneal space. Purulent fluid with a negative cytology was acquired by percutaneous biopsy following ultrasonography-guided percutaneous drainage. The postoperative course was uneventful with antibiotic therapy.
