Popis: Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute severe necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma and its surrounding tissues and up to 95% of the patients have diabetes. We describe a concurrent manifestation of emphysematous pyelonephritis and ischaemic colitis in a 51-year-old diabetic woman and conclude that the colitis was due to pressure from a large retroperitoneal mass and sepsis complications combined with underlying peripheral vascular disease because of diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
