“…Although it is possible that translocation of gas produced in the bladder can be the source the air bubbles in the vein, to our knowledge, such a case has not been reported (11)(12)(13)(14). Here, we report a case of emphysematous cystitis, in which venous bubbles were detected.…”

“…Bacterial fermentation of glucose causes carbon dioxide gas bubbles (13,14). disease include old women, diabetes mellitus, neurogenic bladder, urethral catheter placement, vesicorectal fistula, and outlet obstruction (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), and two factors were present in this case. The prognosis for emphysematous cystitis is favorable as in the present if it is diagnosed promptly and treated properly.…”

Emphysematous Cystitis with Venous Bubbles

An 86-year-old nondiabetic woman with an episode of transient ischemic attack two days earlier was referred to our hospital. She had a history of neurogenic bladder and chronic atrial fibrillation and had been anuric for two days. Bubbles were detected by echocardiography in the right atrium, right ventricle, and inferior vena cava. Computed tomography revealed gas accumulation in the wall and lumen of the bladder. She recovered after urinary drainage and antibiotic therapy, and bubbles were no longer detected. It was suspected that bacterial injury of the bladder wall and high intravesical pressure led gas to enter the venous system.

Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening urinary tract infection. Diagnostic difficulty exists because of the variable presentations. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with diarrhoea and malaise, and emphysematous cystitis was revealed on the abdominal X-ray. As she was treated for EC, the diarrhoea and the radiographic abnormalities of EC also resolved. The evaluation and management of this complicated urinary tract infection are discussed.

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare disease caused by gas fermenting bacterial and fungal pathogens. Clinical symptoms are non-specific and diagnostic clues often arise from the unanticipated imaging findings. The clinical manifestations can vary from an incidental diagnosis on abdominal imaging to severe sepsis. Gas-forming infections of the urinary tract (emphysematous nephritis, pyelitis and cystitis) are potentially life-threatening and require prompt evaluation and management. We describe a case of a male patient with diabetes and neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury diagnosed to have emphysematous cystitis that was managed successfully with strict glycemic control, intravenous antibiotics, bladder irrigation with antibiotics and cystoscopy removal of necrotic tissue.
