Abstract
We report a case of 27 days old male child with complaints of progressively increasing swelling in left groin region extending up to left thigh. The child has been reffered to our center for an M.R.I scan. On performing M.R.I scan a diagnosis of left ilopsoas muscle abscess has been offered. Only 14 cases have been reported so far in the literature (1 & 2).We present this rare neonatal case of primary Iiopsoas abscess and discuss clinical symptoms, etiologic agents, methods of diagnosis and therapy, and prognosis.
Keywords: Iliopsoas Abscess, Septic Arthritis, MRI Seqences, Extra Peritoneal Drainage.
