“…In most cases, the cause of neonatal IPA is not detected. Intramuscular hemorrhage due to the trauma of delivery has been proposed as one possible etiology of IPA 2 . Among the cases we reviewed, only four showed precedent infection (bacteremia, 6 umbilical venous catheter infection, 4 pustular lesion, 10 and urethral infection 5 ).…”

“…That is supported by the fact that Staphylococcus aureus as resident flora of the skin and gastrointestinal tract is the most frequently isolated organism from IPA. Moreover, two IPA cases involved methicillin‐resistant S. aureus infection, which seemed to develop from nosocomial infection 1,2 . It is possible that the short delay between birth and onset is attributable not to the congenital event but exposure at birth to these bacteria.…”

“…Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is rare in children, particularly in neonates. 1,2 Its origin can be classified into two groups, secondary inflammation spreading from surrounding structures, and primary source, which is the most common in children. 3 We present herein a case of neonatal IPA derived from arthritis of the hip, and review cases of neonatal IPA reported in the medical literature.…”

Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is rare in children, particularly in neonates. A male neonate was born at 38 weeks of gestation with a weight of 2915 g. On day 22 after birth, his family noticed that his right thigh was swollen. Abdominal computed tomography showed a mass extending to the right iliopsoas from the right thigh with thick septa. Puncture to the right groin yielded purulent fluid, and so a diagnosis of abscess was made. The puncture was followed by surgical drainage through a small inguinal incision, and the abscess cavity was irrigated thoroughly using normal saline. Culture of abscess fluid was positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae, so intravenous ABPC infusion was continued. The postoperative magnetic resonance imaging indicate that the IPA was derived from arthritis of the hip, and the patients received Riemenbügel for the incomplete hip dislocation. He is doing well at 2 years of age.

Iliopsoas abscesses are rare in neonates. Clinical presentation of neonates with iliopsoas abscess often mimic other common neonatal illness. Typical clinical features as described in adults may not be observed in neonates. Such abscesses cause a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician, often resulting in a delay in clinical diagnosis and institution of speci c treatment. We report a case of a 10-day old term male neonate from community who presented with high grade fever, abdominal distension, left lower limb swelling with limitation of movement and diagnosed to have left sided iliopsoas abscess on ultrasonography.The neonate undergone and extraperitoneal surgical drainage of the abscess along with a course systemic antimicrobial agent. The case is of clinical importance because it describes the presence of a localized abscess in an uncommon location and Methicillin resistant staphylococcus being the causative organism, which represents a rare and potentially life-threatening infection in neonates.
