Primary pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of skeletal muscle with acute or subacute clinical course. This usually present with localized abscess.We report a case of an 18 years old female presenting with swelling in midline of neck moving with deglutition mimicking a thyroid swelling. On further investigation patient was confirmed to have sternocleidomastoid myositis. Previous case reports have showed various etiologies for development of abscess. After thorough examination and investigations, patient was found to have an idiopathic sternocleidomastoid abscess which responded well to empirical antibiotic therapy.This is a very uncommon condition and very sparsely reported and so far, to the best of our knowledge there is no case report from India.
原发性脓性肌炎是一种骨骼肌的细菌感染，临床病程呈急性或亚急性。通常表现为局部脓肿。我们报告一例18岁女性病例，其颈部中线处有肿胀，随吞咽动作移动，类似甲状腺肿大。进一步检查发现患者患有胸锁乳突肌炎。既往病例报告显示脓肿形成有多种病因。经过全面检查和调查，发现患者患有特发性胸锁乳突肌脓肿，经验性抗生素治疗效果良好。这是一种非常罕见的疾病，报道极为稀少，据我们所知，印度尚无病例报告。
