Summary:Renal abscess is a medical and surgical urological emergency whose diagnosis has been improved by modern imaging. It often poses a problem of therapeutic management between antibiotic therapy or the association of a drainage.

We report a case of a bilateral renal abscess fusing to the psoas muscle on the right that progressed well with antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage.
