Abstract

A case of 16-year-old female with second-ary psoas abscess as the complication of the Crohn’s disease was analysed. Her pre-hos-pital, long lasting, non-specific symptoms led to ultrasound (US) and radiologic im-aging confirming the diagnosis. The anti-biotic treatment was insufficient and wors-ening of the patient’s condition required surgical treatment including descendent colectomy, abscess drainage and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). In spite of numerous complications the condition of the child gradually improved and she was discharged from the hospital on the 71st postoperative day. Two years after the colectomy, the occlusion of her colostomy was performed.
