• Iliopsoas abscess may be classified as primary or secondary, depending on the presence or absence of underlying disease.
• In patients suspected to have primary iliopsoas abscess, antistaphylococcal antibiotics should be started before the culture results.
• Drainage of the abscess may be done through computed tomography guided percutaneous drainage (PCD) or surgical drainage.
• The indications of operation are (a) failure of PCD, (b) relative contraindication of PCD, for example, clotting disorders, and (c) the presence of an another intra-abdominal pathology which requires surgery.
