| Popis: |
Psoas abscess is currently an uncommon disease and is often difficult to diagnose because of its minor initial symptoms. We compare treatment by percutaneous drainage and surgery.Five patients, all immunodepressed, which appears to be an important factor in the aetiology and pathogenesis of psoas abscess. Computed tomography appears to be the best diagnostic method.Three subjects underwent open surgery and developed serious complications in contrast with two patients treated by CT-guided percutaneous drainage, preceded by antibiotics.First-line percutaneous drainage appears to be the best approach at the present time, reserving open surgery for very large abscesses. |
