Abstract

Introduction: Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare and serious medical-surgical condition. Emergency nephrectomy is the standard treatment for forms that respond poorly to medical therapy, in conjunction with drainage of the upper excretory tract. Case report: This is a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis in a 54-year-old female patient who had presented with acute pyelonephritis, left renal colic and hyperactivity syndrome. A non-injected abdominopelvic CT scan revealed a globular, dedifferentiated left kidney with a diffuse aortic component. The right kidney was unremarkable. In intensive care, despite placement of a double JJ tube and antibiotic therapy with amikacin and cefotaxime, the patient's hemodynamic and neurological status continued to deteriorate, necessitating intubation. After 24 hours of well-managed treatment with no improvement, nephrectomy was performed in the setting of emphysematous destruction of the left kidney and persistent latent shock. Based on this observation and a review of the literature, we describe the clinical and radiological features, as well as the various diagnostic and therapeutic means of this condition. Conclusion: the diagnosis of emphysematous pyelonephritis should be suspected in the following cases: the presence of severe acute pyelonephritis, with no improvement in clinical condition despite well-conducted medical treatment or percutaneous drainage, or associated with signs of severity, particularly in diabetics, radical treatment is envisaged after failure of drug therapy.
