    Author: Swanson A, Lau KK, Korman TM, Wallace EM, Polyakov A.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol; 2008 Dec; 48(6):607-8. PubMed ID: 19133053.
    Abstract:
    Primary iliacus-psoas muscle abscess formation is very uncommon during pregnancy. We present a case of a primary iliacus-psoas muscle abscess in pregnancy causing back pain with delayed diagnosis and treatment. Understanding the clinical presentation of iliacus-psoas muscle abscess helps with considering it in the differential diagnosis of back pain during pregnancy.
