Psoas muscle abscess in a pregnant patient
Abstract
Psoas muscle is very rare and difficult to diagnose in pregnancy. There are few cases reports in the literature. In this case report, we aimed to present a patient who was diagnosed with psoas abscess and was treated with percutaneous drainage and antibiotherapy in the 30th week of gestation. Psoas muscle abscess is a disease with high morbidity and mortality due to late diagnosis. In patients with long-standing and persistent low back pain, the psoas muscle should be considered in differential diagnosis.
