- Emphysematous cystitis is primary infection of the bladder with gas production by bacteria. The infection is uncommon but commands clinical importance due to its morbidity and mortality potential. We report a 54 year-old man with emphysematous cystitis associated with prostatic and urethral involvement. He was managed with antibiotics and suprapubic catheterization.
