Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although surgical drainage has been performed in most reported cases of psoas abscess, ultrasonographically guided percutaneous drainage could be effective treatment for psoas abscess. However, utility of percutaneous drainge under ultrasound is less well established. We present a patient in whom fungal psoas abscess was managed by ultrasonographically guided percutaneous aspiration with literature review. Drainage was done by needle aspiration under ultrasound guidance and there was no procedural complication. After aspiration, Candida Albicans was found as a causing organism responsible for abscess and abscess could be successfully treated by repeated aspiration and appropriate antifungal therapy.
