Abstract
We report a case of infection of the lower extremity after a normal vaginal delivery. The infection originated in an occult obturator internus muscle hematoma, and diagnosis was based on a clinical suspicion and characteristic findings on computerized tomography scan. These findings permitted prompt surgical drainage, debridement, and antibiotic therapy and resulted in a successful outcome.Entities:
