Bilateral PSOAS Abscess - One of the Largest of its Kind - Case Report
Prakash Narayan Gupta, Nikunj Nandan
Abstract: PSOAS Abscess is a less known illness with varied signs and symptoms depending on multiple factors like size, location, duration, etc. We report a case wherein a young lady presented with complaints of persistent pain in lower back associated with gradual weight loss and lassitude over several months. Imaging revealed a bilateral PSOAS abscess measuring 22 cm on the right side, which was probably among the largest of its kind. She was managed with pigtail drainage and anti-tubercular therapy leading to gradual but complete recovery. There are multiple studies related to PSOAS Abscess in Medical literature, however to the best of our knowledge, PSOAS abscess as large as 22 cm is yet to be reported. It is prudent to document such cases so as to have a better understanding about the extent of disease progression and have a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
