A case of puerperium complicated by iliopsoas abscess

Introduction: Iliopsoas abscess is a rare phenomenon with an incidence of 0.4 in 100,000 per year in the general population. It is three times commoner in males. Patients who are immunosuppressed, diabetic or have renal failure are at increased risk. Psoas abscesses can be either primary through haematogenous spread or secondary through infection or inflammation in the surrounding areas.
