Description
Summary:	Psoas abscess is an uncommon condition at the present time. The initial anodyne signs and symptoms make diagnosis difficult. It can be diagnosed and rated as primary when the origin is not found, or secondary when a focus for infection spreading is detected. Drainage either percutaneously or by open surgery, and antibiotic therapy are the choice treatment, achieving an important survival rate. This paper presents a new case of psoas abscess, including a revision of the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
