Incidental discovery of an interstitial emphysematous cystitis with liver abscess: A report of hematogenous spread of infection
Emphysematous cystitis is an unusual urological emergency in clinical practice. The disease characteristics are still underreported. It is characterized by the presence of gas in the urinary bladder wall secondary to gas forming organism. We report an incidental finding of emphysematous cystitis in...

description | Emphysematous cystitis is an unusual urological emergency in clinical practice. The disease characteristics are still underreported. It is characterized by the presence of gas in the urinary bladder wall secondary to gas forming organism. We report an incidental finding of emphysematous cystitis in a 35-year-old secondary to a huge liver abscess in a poorly controlled blood sugar. The infection spread hematogenously to the urinary bladder wall that was managed conservatively by urethral catheter drainage and hepatic abscess drainage in adjunct with antimicrobial therapy. The patient had no urinary symptoms. The bladder wall gas disappeared during follow-up in 2 weeks. |
