Abstract:
Both pyogenic sacroiliitis and iliopsoas muscle abscess are relatively uncommon infectious entities, and their coexistence has been reported in few patients. Its insidious and obscure clinical manifestations can cause the diagnostic delays, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. But, the proper management with appropriate antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of the abscess has showed the satisfactory outcomes in most patients with iliopsoas abscess. In this report, we present a case of 45-year-old male with diabetes mellitus who had an iliopsoas abscess complicated by sacroiliitis.
