Résumé
Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare entity caused by bacteria, which produce gas filled cysts in the bladder wall. We present a case of EC in a 72-year-old woman admitted to Vascular Surgery Department because of diabetic foot syndrome. During the hospital stay, the patient's general condition deteriorated. CT established EC diagnosis. Surgical treatment was inevitable. Salvage cystectomy was performed. Despite macroscopic removal of necrotic tissues, the condition of the patient didn't improve, 75 days past diagnosis of EC she died due to the multi-organ failure. Prompt diagnosis provided by imaging plays a key role in the treatment of EC.
