ABSTRACT

Primary pyogenic psoas abscess, although quite a common condition, particularly in the tropics, is often overlooked as a clinical entity, probable because a psoas abscess has been traditionally associated with tuberculous spondylitis. Is a pathology extremely rare in the child and the diagnosis is difficult and often delayed (AU)
