Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 65-year-old man presented with abscess formation in the prevesical space and bilateral adductor muscles secondary to pubic osteomyelitis which was resolved by means of percutaneous drainage of the prevesical abscess. The pathway of abscess propagation can be explained on the basis of the anatomy between the prevesical space and femoral sheath.
