The clinical presentation of emphysematous cystitis is nonspecific, and can range from a minimally symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) to septic shock. The most common symptom is abdominal pain, and the classic symptoms of UTI have been reported in only approximately 50% of cases [2]. As symptoms are of no help in reaching a diagnosis, appropriate diagnostic imaging is imperative to establish the diagnosis of EC [2].
