Sterile Seroma After Surgical Drainage of Purulent Psoas Abscess in Crohnʼs Disease

Sterile Seroma after Drainage of Purulent Muscle Abscess in Crohn’s Disease: Two Cases

“…We have described 2 cases of sterile seroma complicating drainage of purulent skeletal muscle abscess in Crohn's disease. In our first case, a sterile seroma occurred after surgical drainage of a chronic psoas muscle abscess [ 4 ]. In our current case, the sterile seroma developed after percutaneous drainage of an acute iliacus muscle abscess.…”

“…Purulent skeletal muscle abscesses can occur in Crohn's disease [ 1 – 3 ]. We have previously described what we believe to be the first reported case of a sterile seroma complicating drainage of a septic psoas muscle abscess in Crohn's disease [ 4 ]. We now describe a second similar case in which a sterile seroma developed after drainage of a purulent iliacus muscle abscess in Crohn's disease.…”
