Bilateral tuberculous psoas abscess

摘要

The unilateral psoas abscess is a rare disease that is often caused by common germs, including Staphylococcus aureus. Tuberculous origin and bilateral involvement are even rarer, especially in developed countries. It may be primary or secondary to a neighbourhood focus. We report a case of bilateral tuberculous abscess of psoas in an immunocompetent patient secondary to spondylodiscitis.
