However, ultrasound, which is a non-ionizing and very accessible technique, may also contribute to diagnosis. The aim of this study was to illustrate the contribution of ultrasound to the diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis. We report three cases of emphysematous cystitis diagnosed by ultrasound. In...
Emphysematous cystitis is a rare disease and is usually caused by aerobic bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli. Only rarely have anaerobic bacteria been associated with this condition.
