What is the likely pathogenesis of the psoas abscess*?
*A psoas abscess is a retroperitoneal collection of pus involving the psoas muscle. The psoas and ilio psoas are in the extra peritoneal space, at around T12-L5. The psoas muscle inserts in the lesser trochanter, and is the primary flexor of the hip joint. It has a rich vascular supply, making it prone to infection.
