title: CT-guided percutaneous drainage of psoas abscess.
abstract: Two cases of pyogenic psoas abscess were diagnosed and treated by CT-guided percutaneous catheter drainage. In these 2 patients there was rapid clinical improvement and tomographic disappearance of the masses. Image-guided percutaneous drainage of psoas abscess appears to be a safe and effective alternate to open surgical drainage.
