Abstract
Two cases in which patients presented with lower back pain and bacteraemia, and in which the diagnosis of iliopsoas abscess was made by computed tomography, are reported. Before the introduction of computed tomography, this diagnosis was difficult to establish by means of clinical and radiological investigations. Computed tomography makes it possible to obtain a clear view of the retroperitoneum.Keywords
