Computed tomography (CT) is useful for diagnosis of iliopsoas abscesses, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) has become the standard modality for diagnosis and follow-up of patients with associated spine diskitis and osteomyelitis, especially in those with epidural and intradural infections.

ICD-10 Code for Psoas muscle abscess- K68. 12- Codify by AAPC.
Psoas (or iliopsoas) abscess is a collection of pus in the iliopsoas muscle compartment [1]. It may arise via contiguous spread from adjacent structures or by the hematogenous route from a distant site.
A cold abscess is a slow accumulation of pus occurring without the inflammatory reaction that causes pain, heat or reddening of the skin which are typical of an ordinary abscess.
Primary psoas abscess is a rare infection with an often vague and non-specific clinical presentation, especially in children. In Asia and Africa 99.5% of all psoas abscesses are primary, compared with 61% in the United States and Canada and 18.7% in Europe.
Blood tests and ultrasonography can also be part of the diagnosis. However, the recommended choice for abscess detection in the psoas muscle is the CT scan as it can detect and confirm a psoas abscess in 80 to 100% of all cases.
Secondary psoas abscesses develop as a result of spread of infection from contiguous structures, such as concurrent vertebral infections. Other routes may be from an intraabdominal source, most commonly gastrointestinal, including Crohn disease, cancer, appendicitis, or diverticulitis.
muscle of loinPsoas literally means “muscle of loin” (Greek). Three muscles are associated with what is commonly referred to as “the psoas muscle”: the psoas major, psoas minor, and iliacus. The psoas major is the larger of the two psoas muscles.
Drainage of the abscess may be done through computed tomography guided percutaneous drainage (PCD) or surgical drainage. PCD is much less invasive and has been proposed as the draining method of choice. Mueller et al reported first application of PCD in iliopsoas abscesses in 1984.
Objective: Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is a rare condition with a reported worldwide incidence of 12 new cases per year with primary abscesses now predominating. The presentation is often vague and the diagnosis not considered.
Psoas muscle abscess and fluid collections are located in the retrofascial space, rather than in the retroperitoneal space, because the psoas muscles are located in the iliopsoas compartment posterior to the transversalis fascia, which is the posterior boundary of the retroperitoneum.
The psoas muscle is located in the lower lumbar region of the spine and extends through the pelvis to the femur. This muscle works by flexing the hip joint and lifting the upper leg towards the body. A common example of the movement created from this muscle is walking. Psoas syndrome is a very rare condition.
Pyomyositis (sometimes called tropical pyomyositis) is a rare and treatable bacterial infection that affects skeletal muscles (the muscles you use to move). Pyomyositis usually results in an abscess (a swollen area that contains pus) that forms in your muscle.
