Infectious sacroilitis

Magnetic resonance imaging findings of infectious sacroiliitis associated with iliopsoas abscess: a case report in a young male

Infectious sacroilitis is an infection of the sacroiliac joint, not easy to diagnose because of its non-specific signs, symptoms and laboratory abnormalities. We describe a case of a 16 year-old male with 5 days' history of fever, abdominal pain, constipation, low-back and left hip pain extended to the left knee associated with sudden inability to walk.
