  abstract = {Psoas abscess is rare as the first clinical manifestation of Crohn's disease. We report a 28 year-old man with no previous history of gastrointestinal disorder, who presented with lower right abdominal pain and psoitis. Diagnosis of psoas abscess was confirmed by computed tomography. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli were isolated from abscess. Colonoscopy and histological examination of the biopsies established the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. Following the administration of antibiotics and computed tomography-guided percutaneous drainage, a right hemicolectomy and iliectomy resection were performed. Clinician should have a high index of suspicion to make promptly the diagnosis of Crohn’s disease presented with psoas abscess as the first manifestation especially when gastrointestinal symptoms may not dominate the complaints.},
