Purulent iliopsoitis is a quite rare and difficult disease regarding diagnosis and treatment. However, treatment outcomes are not so favorable, incidence of sepsis and mortality are still extremely high. Original up-to-date studies devoted to this issue were analyzed. The authors discuss the actual problems of etiology, pathogenesis, classification, clinical features, diagnosis and surgical treatment of iliopsoitis. Considering these data, they conclude that timely diagnosis and adequate surgical treatment are essential for favorable outcomes. Prevention of relapse is based on detection of possible cause of disease and its possible correction.
