Abstract
The diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis is made when gas is visualized within the bladder wall on radiologic or ultrasound imaging and typically develops as a complication of lower urinary tract infection from gas forming bacteria. Its presentation varies from being asymptomatic to severe abdominal pain and requires a high index of suspicion in susceptible individuals to make the diagnosis and avoid potentially serious complications. Here we present a case of emphysematous cystitis along with a brief review of the literature.
