Non-tuberculous psoas abscess.
Non-tuberculous psoas abscess is associated with a wide variety of conditions in addition to its well known association with infection in the lumbar spine. Computed tomography (CT) enables the diagnosis to be made at a relatively early stage when classical physical signs may be absent. Percutaneous drainage under CT control provides an alternative to formal surgical drainage in selected patients.
