Obturator Internus Pyomyositis - A Case Report -

Abstract

The incidence of pyomyositis, initially considered to be a disease of the tropic, has been growing worldwidely, mainly affecting children and young healthy adults even in temperate climates. It predominantly affects quadriceps, iliopsoas, and gluteal muscles of the lower limb in sequence. The involvement of obturator muscles has rarely been reported and difficult to diagnosis. We report a rare case of obturator internus pyomyositis in a 29-yearold male of teraplegic condition with highlighting its importance of awareness and the relevant radiological investigations in the form of CT enhancement.
