“…This facultative anaerobic microorganism has gas‐producing properties . It can induce emphysematous inflammation, as in cystitis, particularly in diabetic but also in nondiabetic dogs . Interestingly, it is the main pathogen in most nondiabetic emphysematous cystitis cases reported in dogs and has been reported in one cat .…”

A four-year-old female French bulldog was presented for evaluation of acute, left-sided peripheral vestibular syndrome. Computed tomographic (CT) examination of the head revealed the presence of air within the left cochlea and vestibule, consistent with pneumolabyrinth. This was concurrent with ipsilateral otitis media and externa. Pneumolabyrinth is an uncommon finding in humans and is most frequently due to head trauma and temporal bone fracture. This is the first report describing pneumolabyrinth in a dog, apparently of nontraumatic origin in this case.

“…In humans, cases of EC are reported approximately twice as often in women as in men; in general, middle-aged, diabetic women appear to be at a significantly higher risk for disease 1. While female dogs and cats are at increased risk of developing an UTI, and several studies demonstrated an increased risk with increasing age, for EC no gender nor age predisposition has been reported in dogs or cats until now 8,14…”

“…Patients may be asymptomatic or showing signs associated to their underlying diseases. It should be taken into consideration that EP and peritonitis have been reported as consequences of EC in dogs, cats, and humans,1,7,8,12,16 and in human medicine, a case of severe sepsis secondary to EC has been described 18. Early detection of EC is therefore of utter importance; therefore, greater attention is required on the presence of risk factors for EC.…”

“…Plain conventional abdominal radiography is the most common imaging method for EC detection both in humans and in dogs 1,5,8,17,18. Plain radiography shows a radiolucent line of gas around the bladder wall, separated from the more dorsal rectal gas (Figure 1).…”

Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare disease in human as well as in veterinary medicine; in both it is defined as an uncommon form of complicated urinary tract infection (UTI), characterized by the presence of gas within the bladder wall and lumen. While female dogs are at increased risk of developing an UTI, patients with EC are not subject to gender or age predisposition and may present with variable clinical manifestations. Diabetes mellitus (DM) appears as the most common risk factor for the development of EC, but many other underlying conditions have been mentioned in literature and should be taken into consideration. In case of EC, Escherichia coli appears to be the most common pathogen isolated from urine cultures. A conclusive diagnosis of EC requires necessarily the recourse to imaging methods, such as abdominal radiography and ultrasonography. An early diagnosis and appropriate medical therapy, consisting in protracted antibiotic treatment associated with control over underlying diseases, could lead to avoid surgical intervention.

A 9-year-old male castrated domestic shorthair feline was presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of constipation of 3-day duration, decreased urination of 1-day duration, vomiting, and hind limb weakness. Physical examination abnormalities included hypothermia, dehydration, and generalized paresis with inability to stand for a prolonged period of time. Abdominal ultrasonography showed pinpoint hyperechoic foci throughout the hepatic parenchyma, small gas foci circulating within the portal vasculature consistent with emphysematous hepatitis, and mild volume of ascites. Cytology of the ascites was consistent with inflammatory effusion. Hepatic cytology was consistent with mixed inflammation/hepatitis with no apparent cause for inflammation noted. Urine culture yielded a negative result. Surgical liver biopsy and culture were declined by the patient's family. Ultrasound changes were presumed to be most likely secondary to an ascending infection.
