Paraspinal pyomyositis associated with radiculopathy.
[pyomyositis]
A
57
-
year
-old
woman
presented
with
a
fever
and
left-sided
hip
and
back
pain
.
The
hip
pain
was
explained
by
L
3
radiculopathy
because
the
pain
was
distributed
on
the
L
3
dermatome
accompanied
by
allodynia
.
On
the
other
hand
,
the
back
pain
was
located
on
the
left
side
1
cm
from
the
spinal
process
of
the
L
3
-
4
vertebrae
.
Enhanced
computed
tomography
of
the
abdomen
revealed
an
abscess
in
the
left
paravertebral
muscle
,
and
pyomyositis
was
diagnosed
.
Following
percutaneous
drainage
via
ultrasound
,
both
the
hip
and
back
pain
immediately
improved
.
Paraspinal
pyomyositis
as
well
as
lesions
inside
the
spinal
canal
should
therefore
be
considered
in
the
differential
diagnosis
of
patients
presenting
with
fever
,
back
pain
,
and
radiculopathy
.
