The iliopectineal bursa frequently communicates by a circular aperture with the cavity of the hip joint.[1]
In 13% of all cases the iliopectineal bursa is partly separated by a septum into two cavities. Here the tendon of the psoas major muscle passes over the medial chamber and the tendon of the iliacus muscle runs over the lateral chamber.[2]
