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...
Ultrasound is generally only useful for the diagnosis of associated urinary tract obstruction.4., 15., 16. Optimum therapeutic strategies are ill-defined and controversial owing to the rarity of cases and the associated lack of well-designed randomized controlled studies. Although in the past, ...
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. We report a case of emphysematous cystitis due to Clostridium perfringens with bacteremia in an elderly diabetic ...

Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a comparatively rare urinary tract infection characterized by air within the bladder wall and lumen and is usually associated with immunosuppression or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. We report a case of EC in a 70-year-old man who recently underwent transrectal ...

In addition, gas and echogenic material were identified in the pelvis of the left kidney on ultrasound. Sediment analysis of a cystocentesis urine sample revealed an active sediment as well as bacteria, identified as Escherichia coli on urinary culture. The cat was hospitalized for fluid therapy,...
The diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis is made when gas is visualized within the bladder wall on radiologic or ultrasound imaging and typically develops as a complication of lower urinary tract infection from gas forming bacteria. Its presentation varies from being asymptomatic to severe abdominal pain...
