dc.description.abstractPsoas abscess (PA) is a rare condition which is difficult to diagnose, so its diagnosis may be delayed. It is classified as primary and secondary psoas abscess. In adult patients, PA caused by urinary tract infections is a rare entity. Our case, a 79 year old male patient was hospitalized with a diagnosis of urosepsis. In his follow-up despite the appropriate antibiotic therapy the symptoms of fever, hypotension and general weakness persisted. Abdominal computed tomography, showed bilateral iliopsoas muscle abscesses extending to the retroperitoneal area. Percutaneous drainage catheters were inserted into iliopsoas abscesses. Control computed tomography revealed disseminated cystic-abscess centers in the abdomen. During preoperative management for surgical drainage of abscesses, the patient died due to a sudden cardiac arrest. Psoas abcesess is an entity, with delayed diagnosis because of its nonspecific clinical features and infrequency. Its mortality rate is high due to misdiagnosis and may even reach upto 100% in the absence of abscess drainage.en_US
