Inflammatory Processes
|
- Coliform bacterial retroperitoneal inflammation may arise from numerous sources:
- Kidney (pyelonephritis)
- Colon (diverticulitis)
- Appendix (appendicitis)
- Pancreas (pancreatitis)
- Gram positive cocci may cause a psoas abscess in children due to tonsillitis, otitis media, or cutaneous furuncle.
- Acid fast bacilli can cause a cold abscess, usually confined to the psoas, arising from a tuberculous vertebra.
