ABSTRACT

The emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma which especially affects diabetics with poor control of their disease. It is a serious condition, rare but carries a high mortality despite early diagnosis and aggressive treatment. The condition can be in the renal parenchyma tissue collector and/or perinephritic tissues; therefore requires a high suspicion based on clinical diagnosis. Here we report a case with typical clinical prognostic factors emphasizing the clinical and radiological diagnosis, and a brief review of the subject.
