RESUMO
We report the case of a young woman with primary amenorrhea. In her childhood, she suffered from renal failure requesting kidney transplantation at the age of 11. The investigations for primary amenorrhea revealed a hypergonadotropic hypogonadism associated with 46 XY karyotype. The association of primary amenorrhea with renal failure suggested Frasier syndrome (FS) or Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS). Genetic analysis revealed a Wilms' tumour (WT1) gene mutation characteristic of the Frasier syndrome. Dysgenetic ovaries were removed laparoscopically due to the risk of gonadal cancer.

The psoas abscess is a rare complication in obstetric and gynaecology. Two types of psoas abscess are recognized. The primary psoas abscess is generally following haematogenous dissemination of an infectious agent and the source is usually occult. The most frequently isolated pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. On the other hand, the secondary abscess is the result of local extension of an infectious process near the psoas muscle. We report the case of a patient who develops a bacteremia from an infected cesarean section wound. The complications were thigh and psoas abscesses with left sacroiliitis. Medical management with prolonged antibiotherapy permit clinical, biological and radiological improvement. Although it required a long hospital stay, medical treatment alone was effective. More experience is required to determine which therapeutic option: medical treatment and/or surgery, is the best choice for this type of complication.
