Date of Publication: December 2008. | 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. © 2008 The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1479-828X.2008.00921.x | PubMed URL: | 19133053 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=19133053] | ISSN: | 0004-8666 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/31411 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
