Abstract
Emphysematous cystitis is a rare but serious urinary tract infection characterized by the presence of gas in the bladder wall and lumen, caused by gas-forming bacteria. This condition can lead to damage to the bladder wall, with possible rupture, sepsis, and death if left untreated. It is most commonly seen in older female patients and diabetics with multiple comorbidities.
