The iliopsoas compartment is an extraperitoneal space which contains the iliopsoas and iliacus muscles. Psoas muscle lies in close proximity to organs such as the sigmoid colon, appendix, jejunum, ureters, abdominal aorta, kidneys, pancreas, spine, and iliac lymph nodes and infections in these organs can spread to the muscle. Pyogenic abscess seen in the psoas muscle are further classified as either primary or secondary depending on the presence or absence of any underlying disease. We present a case of secondary psoas abscess due to an acute attack of retrocaecal appendicitis.
