ABSTRACT
Skeletal system involvement is relatively a common complication of human brucellosis, however, muscular involvement and psoas abscess are less frequent. Psoas abscess is a rare clinical situation which if not considered the diagnosis is very difficult. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of abdomen are used for the diagnosis. Combination of antibiotic treatment and drainage are recommended in the management of psoas abscess. We report a case of 45 years old patient with severe hip pain with an abscess in the psoas muscle which was diagnosed with CT Scan. The patient was successfully treated with triple antibiotic regimen and percutaneous abscess drainage
