Abstract:
Emphysematous cystitis is rare disease associated with gas in the bladder wall and lumen. Presentation is varied and sequelae may be minor, severe or fatal. Treatment consists of administration of appropriate antibiotics, control of blood glucose, and adequate bladder drainage. We present a case of emphysematous cystitis with diabetic woman, who did not present symptoms of cystitis but abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. In our case, it was detected incidentally on simple radiography. After administration of susceptible parenteral antibiobcs and control of blood glucose level, her symptoms were improved.
