The classic triad of fever, flank pain, and hip movement limitation is present in only 30% of patients. Delays in treatment are followed by increased morbidity and mortality. The microbial etiology of IPA is variable and depends on the geographical area. IPA can be primary or secondary due to the origin of the infectious focus. This review aims to outline the current stage of knowledge of IPA, to emphasize its precocious recognition, and to provide a precise diagnosis using modern imaging according to the hospital patients are seen at, in an effort to reduce the delay in the diagnosis and treatment of IPA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was made from 1980 to December 2024 related to IPA published in English.

Additionally, 72 observational studies, 2 systematic reviews, and 2 prospective studies were reviewed. The inclusion criteria encompassed original and review articles published in English.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Since the description of IPA with isolated cases, then small series, and recently large retrospective reviews from major hospitals worldwide, the diagnosis and treatment of IPA have improved. With modern imaging techniques (US, CAT scan, and MRI), the diagnosis of IPA has increased, but sequential use of the aforementioned methods is not standardized; besides, there is no uniform treatment for IPA so far. Current management of IPA entails broad\u2010spectrum antibiotics plus percutaneous or surgical drainage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wjs.70213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,3]],"date-time":"2026-01-03T04:54:08Z","timestamp":1767416048000},"page":"336-343","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Iliopsoas Abscess: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6645-6428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Romulo","family":"Armenta\u2010Flores","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery Divisi\u00f3n Cl\u00ednica Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Luz Carmen Serd\u00e1n  Irapuato Guanajuato M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2836-0014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Armenta\u2010Villalobos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery Divisi\u00f3n Cl\u00ednica Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Luz Carmen Serd\u00e1n  Irapuato Guanajuato M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1985-4837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis G.","family":"Dom\u00ednguez\u2010Carrillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Division Blvd University of Guanajuato, Fracci\u00f3n Del Predio San Carlos  Le\u00f3n Guanajuato M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2003.017665"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"202","article-title":"Acute Psoitis","volume":"21","author":"Mynter H.","year":"1881","journal-title":"Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12809\/hkmj133793"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0b013e31819d2748"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejm197101282840407"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1995.01430120063009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4274\/jus.54"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01655254"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002\u20109610(92)90043\u2010q"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.2009.144"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03000605211060197"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","first-page":"172","volume-title":"Anatomy for Surgeons","author":"Hollinshead W.
