Pyomyositis is an uncommon infection of muscle that is usually managed conservatively, but, can progress to abscess formation requiring open surgical drainage. We present the first reported case of a 14-year-old male with obturator internus pyomyositis requiring computed tomography-guided percutaneous transgluteal drainage for the management of a right obturator internus abscess. We present this case report to provide an alternative to the open surgical management of abscesses from pyomyositis by means of successful computed tomography-guided drainage.
脓性肌炎是一种罕见的肌肉感染,通常采用保守治疗,但可能进展为脓肿形成,需要进行开放性手术引流。我们报告首例14岁男性闭孔内肌脓性肌炎病例,该患者因右侧闭孔内肌脓肿,需在计算机断层扫描引导下经皮经臀引流。我们通过成功的计算机断层扫描引导引流,提供了一种替代脓性肌炎脓肿开放性手术治疗的方法,特此报告此病例。
