Emphysematous cystitis is a rare serious complication of urinary tract infection characterised by gas formation in the wall or lumen of the urinary bladder due to bacterial fermentation. We report a case of an 86-year-old female with emphysematous cystitis complicated by anterior bladder wall perforation. Her urine grew Escherichia coliand imaging showed gas collection inside the urinary bladder and outside the ruptured anterior bladder wall. She was treated with antibiotics and bladder irrigation and responded well without surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment improve the outcome, hence the importance of a high index of suspicion. |
