Post Polio Iliopsoas Atrophy-MRI

33 year old polio patient MRI spine was done and showed mild scoliotic tilt with convexity to left. Left iliopsoas muscle is not well seen with areas of fatty replacement within the iliacus and psoas major muscle. Left gluteal muscles are also atrophied. These findings likely indicate atrophic changes in the muscles along with fatty replacement & scoliotic tilt.
