DISCUSSION
In patients with difficulty in communicating, the inability to complain
of symptoms may delay the detection of an iliopsoas abscess and cause it
to grow to an excessive size. Iliopsoas abscess is easy to identify with
a CT scan and ultrasonography. These examinations should be conducted
quickly when fever causes communication problems.
Percutaneous drainage of the iliopsoas abscess is a minimally invasive,
efficient, and safe procedure with good clinical
recovery.1,2,3 In many cases, surgery with a high risk
of morbidity and mortality can be avoided. This procedure is a
significant option for patients who are unable to undergo surgery due to
poor clinical status or other contraindications.
