Pyomyositis is a subacute infection of skeletal muscles. It can be life-threatening if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Only 5 cases of isolated piriformis pyomyositis have been reported. We report signs and symptoms of piriformis pyomyositis in 3 women who were treated mainly with antibiotics. Computed tomography is useful in making the diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment may avoid surgical treatment and reduce mortality.
