Bilateral Obturator Pyomyositis with Visceral Involvement in an Immunocompetent Adult Patient Treated without Surgery

Abstract: This is the first case of bilateral obturator pyomyositis with coexisting involvement of pelvic floor muscles (levator ani) and viscera (urinary bladder) treated exclusively and with success by the administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy. A non-operative approach may could be attempted for the avoidance of postoperative morbidity and complications, especially when early clinical suspicion and diagnostic work-up lead to early diagnosis.

“…Pyomyositis may originate from a focal infection such as arthritis, sacroiliitis, a spinal abscess, or from bacteremia or sepsis. Pyomyositis may develop after trauma, may remain focal, and may resolve upon a nonsurgical approach . Pyomyositis may affect a single muscle, such as the rectus femoris muscle , or may affect all muscles resulting in quadriparesis, as described in a patient after induction of chemotherapy for lymphoblastic leukemia .…”

“…Su prevalencia es más alta en el sexo masculino durante la infancia, como en el caso expuesto. [7][8][9] El daño muscular se produce ante traumas, caídas o ejercicio vigoroso y es el factor predisponente más frecuente en pacientes inmunocompetentes (25-50%). 10 Los patógenos más frecuentes son S. aureus (90%) y estreptococo betahemolítico del grupo A, por lo que el tratamiento antimicrobiano inicial debe tener cobertura para cocos grampositivos.…”

“…En la etapa inicial que se caracteriza por la ausencia de alteraciones musculares específicas, la antibioticoterapia es suficiente, luego, cuando se confirma la formación de abscesos o se desarrolla una bacteriemia, junto a los antibióticos, se requiere de un drenaje percutáneo guiado por imágenes o cirugía. 7 La ecografía en el diagnóstico y manejo de la piomiositis piógena se ha estudiado poco, pese a que se trata de una condición emergente que puede provocar complicaciones catastróficas. En un estudio de 47 niños con una infección de piel y tejido presunta, según el examen físico, la ecografía cambió el manejo terapéutico en nueve de estos pacientes.…”
