There are operative and non operative approaches in the treatment of psoas abscesses. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of the percutaneous catheter drainage in the tuberculous and nontuberculous psoas abscesses.
Eight patients with psoas abscesses were treated with computed tomography and ultrasonography guided drainage. Antituberculous or antibiotic chemotherapy was given to all patients after the drainage.
Six patients had tuberculous psoas abscess and two patients had pyogenic psoas abscess. All abscesses were unilateral. There was vertebral involvement in five patients with tuberculous abscesses, but they did not have vertebral instability and neurologic deficit. Mean drainage duration was 9 days and mean drained abscess volume was 85 ml. There was no complication and death. None of the cases required surgery. Recurrence was not detected in clinical follow-up and the computed tomographic examination. We consider that percutaneous abscess drainage with chemotherapy should be the first choice of treatment method in selected cases with psoas abscesses that do not have vertebral instability, and neurologic deficit.
Tüberküloz ve Pyojenik Psoas Abselerinde Perkütan Kateter Drenajı
Psoas abselerinin tedavisinde operatif ve operatif olmayan yaklaşımlar mevcuttur. Bu çalışmanın amacı tüberküloz ve pyojenik psoas abselerinin tedavisinde, perkütan kateter drenajının etkinliğinin araştırılmasıdır.
Sekiz psoas abseli hastada ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi eşliğinde perkütan drenaj uygulandı. Tüm hastalara drenajdan sonra antitüberküloz veya antibiyotik tedavisi uygulandı
Altı hastada tüberküloz, iki hastada ise pyojenik abse saptandı. Tüm abseler tek taraflı idi. Tüberküloz psoas abseli beş hastada vertebral tutulum olmasına rağmen vertebral instabilité ve nörolojik kayıp saptanmadı. Ortalama drenaj volümü 85 ml, drenaj süresi 9 gün idi. Komplikasyon görülmedi. Hastaların hiçbirinde cerrahi tedavi gerekmedi ve takiplerde nüks tesbit edilmedi.
Psoas abselerinde, nörolojik kayıp ve vertebral instabilité bulunmayan seçilmiş vakaların tedavisinde perkütanöz kateter drenajı ve antibiyotik tedavisinin ilk seçilmesi gereken yöntem olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
