RESUMENEl absceso de psoas es una entidad infrecuente y suele estar relacionada con patología gastrointestinal. Las manifestaciones clínicas suelen ser inespecíficas por lo que el diagnóstico suele ser tardío y como consecuencia de ello el pronóstico malo. Es importante destacar que ante la presencia de un absceso o enfisema en el muslo se debe tener siempre en cuenta la posibilidad de un origen abdominal, ya que el drenaje quirúrgico urgente y agresivo es el único tratamiento eficaz en estas situaciones. Palabras Clave. Absceso, Absceso del Psoas.. ABSTRACT Psoas AbscessPsoas abscess is a rare clinical entity often associated with gastrointestinal disease. Clinical manifestations are usually non-specific and therefore diagnosis is delayed leading to poor prognosis. It is important to emphasis that when a patient presents with an abscess or cutaneous emphysema in the muscle the possibility of abdominal origin should always be considered, because immediate, aggressive surgical drainage is the only effective treatment.
