Emphysematous cystitis(EC) is a rare disease
with infection of urinary bladder with gas forming
organisms. We report a case report of 88 year old female

review. This diabetic patient with hematuria and lower
back pain demonstrated emphysematous cystitis on
Computer tomography(CT) caused by
Klebsiellapneumoniae and managed with antibiotic and
bladder drainage. A review of literature of 142 cases was
