dc.description.abstractEmphysematous cystitis (EC) tends to be seen in the geriatric population. Half of the patients have diabetes mellitus. Other predisposed factors are urinary retention, steroid and other immune suppressive treatments. We present the case of a 75-yearold female patient admitted to the emergency department with complains of abdominal pain and haematuria. She had diabetes mellitus type 2 and amputation below the knee of the left leg. Her vital signs were in the normal range except mild hypothermia. Her physical examination revealed abdominal sensitivity and a mass of 8x8 cm by palpation. Her laboratory results showed pyuria and haematuria, leukocytosis, and a high level of procalcitonin. Contrast-enhanced abdominal tomography showed gas in the wall and the air-fluid level within the lumen of the urinary bladder, which was pathognomonic for EC. There is great variability in clinical presentation and prognosis in cases of EC. Emergency physicians should know the radiological features of EC and associated pathologies of other abdominal organs to prevent the progression of infection.en_US
