Abstract
Nearly half of skeletal tuberculosis patients have spinal tuberculosis, but psoas abscess develops in only 5% of spinal tuberculosis cases. However, bilateral psoas abscess is a rarity. Psoas abscess occurring in pregnancy could be a clinical dilemma and is hardly reported. We report an unusual presentation of bilateral psoas abscess in pregnancy presenting as an acute abdomen and adnexal mass.Entities:
