“…By chemotaxonomic studies and 16S rDNA sequence comparison, C. urealyticum is most closely related to the lipophilic species magnesium phosphate (struvite) stones (Soriano et al, 1985(Soriano et al, , 1986, indicating that urease may play a prominent role in pathogenicity of this species. Clinical isolates of C. urealyticum were documented to cause alkaline-encrusted cystitis (Soriano et al, 1985), encrusted pyelitis following renal transplantation (Aguado et al, 1993), and other urinary tract infections Funke et al, 1997;Giannakopoulos et al, 2001;van Hooland et al, 2005). Encrusted cystitis may require endoscopic resectioning of encrustations and antibiotic therapy for permanent cure (Funke et al, 1997;van Hooland et al, 2005).…”

“…Corynebacterium D2 is difficult to grow in culture media and requires a prolonged incubation of more than 48 h on special media [1] . In our cases, repeated urine cultures were sterile and perhaps a link to Corynebacterium was not specifically sought [2] . Corynebacterium is also highly resistant to normal antibiotics, but is sensitive to vancomycin [8] .…”

“…It was mainly reported in immunocompromised or debilitated patients after urologic procedures [2] . Because of an increasing number of renal transplants and other complex urologic procedures in older or debilitated patients, the risk of AEC is likely to increase.…”

Alkaline-encrusted cystitis (AEC) has been reported sporadically during the past 90 years. It occurs mainly in immunocompromised or debilitated patients after urologic procedures. However, we report two unexpected cases of AEC in patients who were young and not under conditions of transplantation, immunocompromise or debilitation. Both had undergone a ureteroscopic lithotripsy procedure before being diagnosed as having encrusted cystitis. Although no information on such atypical patients is available, at least to our knowledge, we undertook a further report and discussion on the imaging characteristics of this atypical AEC.

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Case Report: Herein, we report a new case of encrusted cystitis complicated by rupture of the bladder, septic peritonitis and uroperitoneum, and digestive fistula in a 57-year-old male and review literature. Conclusion: Encrusted cystitis is a severe entity that its evolution is unpredictable and it may be complicated by urinary bladder rupture that should be considered.
