ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of pyomyositis in the pelvic region is difficult, as its incidence is relatively, with symptoms that mimic those of discogenic pain. Sciatica is a common presentation of a prolapsed lumbar disc. Less common causes, such as spinal stenosis, pelvic tumors or even primary nerve tumors can also cause these symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful diagnostic tool. Herein, the case of a patient with an acute pyogenic infection in the iliopsoas muscle, presenting with sciatica, is reported. This is a rare infective disease, which if promptly treated with intravenous antibiotics, can be completely resolved; otherwise, it can result in deep abscess formation, sepsis and death.
