Emphysematous cystitis: A hidden danger of bladder rupture and sepsis – Case report
EC is a rare but severe bladder infection with a misleading presentation, which can delay diagnosis. If left untreated, it may lead to life-threatening complications such as bladder rupture and septic shock, requiring immediate surgical intervention. Our goal is to identify key diagnostic features that facilitate the early detection and effective management of emphysematous cystitis, preventing severe complications.
