    AbstractAlthough rare in the western world; psoas abscess is a frequent finding in Indian sub continent associated with Pott's spine. Untreated Pott's spine may lead to various sequelae like destruction of vertebra, kyphosis, paraplageia etc which in modern world is amenable to anti-tubercular drugs and surgical management. We report a case of untreated Pott's spine with bilateral calcified psoas abscess with kyphosis. To the best of our knowledge no such case of complete bilateral calcified psoas abscesses has been reported earlier. We want to discuss this case with relevant literature review and its influence on treatment plan.
