Abstract
|
|
|
|
Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare complicated lower urinary tract infection (UTI)characterized by air within the bladder wall and lumen. The disease is most common in middle-aged diabetic women. Patients with chronic UTI, indwelling urethral catheters, urinary tract outlet obstruction or neurogenic bladders are predisposed to complicated UTI such as EC. Most patients can be managed by adequate bladder drainage and appropriate antibiotics coverage and operation is needed very rarely. We report a diabetic women with EC who underwent partial cystectomy.
