Özet

A 21-year old patient was presented with an intermittent low-back-pain for nine months. He has been diagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis at another hospital. The computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed osteolytic destruction in the vertebral bodies of L3-L4, and bulky abscess in the left psoas muscle and left gluteal muscles. The tuberculous sacroiliitis and tuberculous psoas abscess were diagnosed by microscopic confirmation of the presence tuberculous bacilli in drainage from the abscess. The treatment of ankylosing spondylitis was stopped and antituberculosis treatment was started. He was referred to the related department for the surgical management. The patient's symptoms improved after the medical and surgical management.
