Abstract

We report a rare case of obuturator internus pyomyositis due to salmonella. A 13-year-old girl complained of left hip pain and slight fever. MRI revealed a high intensity lesion in the left obuturator internus muscle. Yellow pus was obtained by ultrasonograpically aspiration drainage. Laboratory finding and clinical symptons were improved by drainage, antibiotics, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
