Healing potential of Pantchtikta Ghrita in the management of post drainage wound of Psoas Abscess- A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Psoas abscess is an unusual lesion that is unfamiliar to surgeon which can make an accurate and timely diagnosis. The symptoms often involve hip pain instead of abdominal or back pain. For this reason, the diagnosis of psoas abscess in patients who present with groin pain may be delayed because such pain is atypical for this condition.  Here we report an interesting case of primary psoas abscess. A male patient of 50 years old age having watchmen was consulted in OPD of Shalya Tantra, PG Parul Ayurved hospital with complaints of pain associated with movements in the right hip joint, low-grade persisting fever, loss of appetite in last two months. On the basis of symptoms and USG report the case was diagnosed as psoas abscess. The right iliopsoas abscess was drained by open lateral approach under spinal anesthesia. The created big wound was treated with daily cleaning with Panchavalkal Kwath and dressing with Pantchtikta Ghrita for 8 weeks and finally wound healed completely.
