Nontropical pyomyositis complicated with spinal epidural abscess in a previously healthy child.
[pyomyositis]
Pyomyositis
(
PM
)
,
a
rare
pyogenic
infection
that
involves
skeletal
muscles
,
if
not
immediately
diagnosed
,
can
be
fatal
.
Most
notably
,
this
results
in
spinal
epidural
abscess
(
SEA
)
in
typically
unhealthy
individuals
.
We
present
a
very
rare
nontropical
PM
complicated
with
SEA
in
a
previously
healthy
child
revealed
by
Magnetic
resonance
imaging
(
MRI
)
.
Our
patient
recovered
without
complications
5
years
after
abscess
drainage
and
antibiotics
.
PM
remains
a
challenge
to
clinicians
and
should
be
considered
in
the
differential
diagnosis
of
musculoskeletal
pain
.
MRI
is
the
investigation
of
choice
of
spinal
infection
and
should
be
undertaken
at
an
early
stage
.
