Gas in the psoas muscle secondary to an intravertebral vacuum cleft: CT characteristics.
J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1987 Sep-Oct; (5): 913-5
Gas within the psoas muscle is usually due to primary or secondary infection necessitating aggressive therapy. We report a case of gas within the psoas muscle due to an intravertebral vacuum cleft, a benign manifestation of vertebral body necrosis. Identification of such a cleft in the proper clinical setting makes invasive evaluation unnecessary.
