Abstract:
The iliopsoas bursa is a normal anatomical structure that lies deep to the iliopsoas tendon in the region of the hip joint. Iliopsoas bursitis is a relatively rare condition, so it is often overlooked as a cause of signs and symptoms involving the inguinal area and lower extremity. The clinical manifestation related to iliopsoas bursitis can vary due to compression of the adjacent structures such as the common and superficial femoral vessels, nerve, and bladder. We report here on rare cases of iliopsoas bursitis with compression of the superficial femoral artery and common femoral vein.
