Abstract

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare condition that can have fatal complications if left untreated. A timely diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to achieving appropriate outcomes. Patients with this condition should be evaluated, and if necessary, conservative treatment or surgery should be provided. This case report describes a 73-year-old male patient with emphysematous cystitis who underwent conservative treatment for bladder rupture and reviews the existing literature on this topic. The gold standard for diagnosis of EC is a computerized tomographic scan. This condition should be evaluated, and if necessary, conservative treatment or surgery should be provided.
