title: Computed tomography in crepitant myonecrosis.
abstract: We report an unusual case of non-traumatic myonecrosis presenting as hip pain. Computed tomography helped to define the extent of the infection and its origin in the presacral space. The use of CT in diagnosis and management of gas-forming soft tissue infection is reviewed.
