case_images: CT and MRI of the pelvic area.. Notes: (A) Bone destruction of the right sacroiliac joint with perifocal abscess formation in the right iliac muscle (white arrows); (B) MRI of the pelvic area, axial short-TI inversion recovery, which shows diffuse thickening and increased signal intensity in the right iliacus muscle, as well as edema in the fat surrounding the muscle (white arrows).

case_images: CT of the pelvic area showed bone destruction of the right sacroiliac joint with perifocal abscess formation in the right iliac muscle (Figure 1A). On day 4, magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic area revealed increased signal intensity of the right sacroiliac joint and surrounding bone, and diffuse thickening and effusion surrounding the muscle (Figure 1B).
