Résumé

Iliopsoas muscle abscess (IPA) and spondylodiscitis are two clinical conditions often related to atypical presentation and challenging management. They are both frequently related to underlying conditions, such as immunosuppression, and in many cases they are combined. IPA can be primary due to the hematogenous spread of a microorganism to the muscle or secondary from a direct expansion of an inflammatory process, including spondylodiscitis. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous drainage has been established in the current management of this condition. To present a retrospective analysis of a series of 8 immunocompromised patients suffering from spondylodiscitis complicated with IPA and treated with percutaneous computed tomography-guided drainage and drain insertion in an outpatient setting. Patient demographics, clinical presentation, underlying conditions, isolated microorganisms, antibiotic regimes used, abscess size, days until the withdrawal of the catheter, and final treatment outcomes were recorded and analyzed. All patients presented with night back pain and local stiffness with no fever. The laboratory tests revealed elevated inflammatory markers. Radiological findings of spondylodiscitis with unilateral or bilateral IPA were present in all cases. The minimally invasive outpatient management of IPA is a safe and effective approach with a high success rate and low morbidity.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Iliopsoas muscle abscess (IPA) and spondylodiscitis are two clinical conditions often related to atypical presentation and challenging management. They are both frequently related to underlying conditions, such as immunosuppression, and in many cases they are combined. IPA can be primary due to the hematogenous spread of a microorganism to the muscle or secondary from a direct expansion of an inflammatory process, including spondylodiscitis. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous drainage has been established in the current management of this condition.
AIM OBJECTIVE
To present a retrospective analysis of a series of 8 immunocompromised patients suffering from spondylodiscitis complicated with IPA and treated with percutaneous computed tomography-guided drainage and drain insertion in an outpatient setting.
METHODS METHODS
Patient demographics, clinical presentation, underlying conditions, isolated microorganisms, antibiotic regimes used, abscess size, days until the withdrawal of the catheter, and final treatment outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
RESULTS RESULTS
All patients presented with night back pain and local stiffness with no fever. The laboratory tests revealed elevated inflammatory markers. Radiological findings of spondylodiscitis with unilateral or bilateral IPA were present in all cases.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The minimally invasive outpatient management of IPA is a safe and effective approach with a high success rate and low morbidity.
