“…Urinary bladder wall perforation as a result of EC is extremely rare. There have been case reports of EC due to non- Albicans candida species that required surgery [ 11 , 12 ] as well as reports of E. coli EC managed conservatively [ 4 , 13 , 14 ]. Our patient had a small bladder perforation in the dome of the bladder and mild prostatomegaly on his CT scan.…”

Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a relatively rare condition characterized by gas formation in the bladder wall and/or lumen. We report a case of emphysematous cystitis with a bladder perforation in an 84-year-old male on peritoneal dialysis who presented with fever, dysuria, hematuria, and hypotension. Gas in the bladder wall, as well as a small perforation in the roof of the urinary bladder, was seen on the abdominal CT scan. The causative organism identified was Escherichia coli. The patient recovered with broad-spectrum antibiotics along with bladder irrigation and drainage. After initial bladder washouts, peritoneal dialysis was continued with close monitoring. Early antibiotic therapy and a conservative approach to the management of small intraperitoneal bladder perforations were effective in this patient. Peritoneal dialysis was uninterrupted for the duration of the admission and after discharge.

Spontaneous bladder rupture is a very rare condition. The majority of the cases are due to long-term indwelling catheters, radiation, or acute infravesical obstruction. Spontaneous rupture of the bladder due to inflammation is extremely rare. A case of intraperitoneal bladder rupture due to chronic cystitis is reported. Exploratory laparotomy and partial cystectomy were performed. Diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

“…Urinary bladder wall perforation as a result of EC is extremely rare. A Pubmed search showed four case reports, two of which were due to nonalbicans candida species related EC and required surgery 10,11 . The organisms in the other two cases were E coli and early conservative treatment with appropriate antibiotic and bladder irrigation avoided surgery 12,13 .…”

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare serious complication of urinary tract infection characterised by gas formation in the wall or lumen of the urinary bladder due to bacterial fermentation. We report a case of an 86-year-old female with emphysematous cystitis complicated by anterior bladder wall perforation. Her urine grew Escherichia coli and imaging showed gas collection inside the urinary bladder and outside the ruptured anterior bladder wall. She was treated with antibiotics and bladder irrigation and responded well without surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment improve the outcome, hence the importance of a high index of suspicion. INtRODUCtIONEmphysematous cystitis (EC) with bladder wall perforation is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of urinary tract infections. EC is characterised by gas collections within the bladder wall or its lumen 1 , typically affecting middle-aged diabetic women. Other risk factors are alcoholism 2 , undernutrition 3 , advanced age, debility, urinary outflow tract obstruction, structural abnormalities of the bladder and indwelling urinary catheters 4 . It is caused by gas producing organisms, Escherichia Coli (E coli) being the predominant infecting organism (58%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (21%); Clostridium spp (7%) and Enterobacter spp (7%) 5 . Prompt diagnosis and treatment are warranted to prevent morbidity in this rare entity.
