  • Title: Differentiation of posterior pararenal space infection from psoas abscess by gallium imaging.
    Author: Bose A, Mishkin F, Delgado J.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1983 Jan; 8(1):14-8. PubMed ID: 6572581.
    Abstract:
    Three of four patients whose cases fit the clinical description of psoas abscess proved on gallium imaging to have infection in the posterior pararenal space sparing the psoas muscle. This space provides a route for spread of infection connecting the spine, the anterior abdominal wall, the scrotum, the anterior thigh, and the gluteal region as demonstrated by the cases presented. Clinical differentiation between posterior pararenal space infection and psoas abscesses is difficult and CT studies may not demonstrate the process when the psoas space is not involved.
