| description | Emphysematous pyelitis is a rare benign entity which is defined as isolated gas production in the pelvicalyceal system, ureters or in the
urinary bladder as a consequence of acute bacterial renal infection. In this case report we present a case with no prior medical history
of diabetes or urinary obstruction who presented with uncontrolled hyperglycaemia for the first time associated with emphysematous
pyelonephritis. Further, the imaging differences between emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) and emphysematous pyelitis (EP) has
been discussed along with the approach and their management. |
