2024年12月23日 · Ultrasound has low sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of psoas abscess. Often it is obscured by bowel gas or the pelvic bone. It may be diagnostic in only 50% of cases. CT is often the modality of choice for abscess detection.

Abdominal examination with a curvilinear array probe (3-5 MHz) in the supine position reveals a well-circumscribed collection of about 330 ml adjacent to the right kidney in the area of right Psoas muscle. A psoas collection may result from infections, trauma or abdominal interventions.

available diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of Psoas abscess. It is relatively inexpensive and free of ionizing radiation but it is highly operator dependant and only 60% cases of Psoas abscess can be diagnosed on ultrasound. Another problem with ultrasound imaging is …

The diagnosis of psoas abscess was established by ultrasound in 6 patients, by computed tomography (CT) in 3 patients, and by surgery in 1 patient. Four patients who presented with either sepsis and nonspecific abdominal/flank pain or sepsis and thigh swelling were diagnosed to have psoas abscess by ultrasound performed by EPs.

In this case report we will discuss how to identify an iliopsoas abscess using POCUS in ED patients, and the utility of POCUS to facilitate an expedited diagnosis. Keywords: abdominal pain, flank pain, psoas abscess, ultrasound, bedside ultrasound, POCUS.

4 天之前 · A collection/abscess formation is noted in the left psoas muscle (resembling imaging psoas sign) as well. Case Discussion MRI features are most likely suggestive of spondylodiscitis at L2-L3 vertebral level with psoas muscle abscess. 1 playlist includes this case Unlisted playlists ...

1992年6月1日 · Considering 67 cases reported during the last 5 years the annual average currently is 12 new cases, indicating that more psoas abscesses are being recognized and reported, most probably due to improved imaging technology by ultrasound and CT scans. Psoas abscess is most prevalent in young patients.

Background: Psoas muscle abscess (PMA) is a collection of pus in the psoas muscle. It is considered a rare clinical entity and is often misdiagnosed due to highly vague symptoms. We report that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) serves as a useful and noninvasive tool for early detection of PMA.

2024年5月29日 · Background: Psoas muscle abscess (PMA) is an uncommon yet severe condition characterized by diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its varied etiology and nonspecific symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of various imaging techniques used in the image-guided percutaneous drainage (PD) of PMA.

These included psoas abscess (3), metastatic tumor and abscess (1), lymphoma (1), and psoas hematoma (2). The role of radiologic studies in the diagnosis and management of these patients is discussed with particular reference to ultrasound and computed tomography.
