Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare, potentially life-threatening complicated urinary tract infection characterized by gas within the urinary bladder lumen and walls. It predominantly affects females and is most commonly associated with diabetes mellitus. Here, we present an unusual case of EC in a male patient.Case Presentation: A 75-year-old male with a 20-year history of inadequately controlled diabetes mellitus presented with lower abdominal pain, high-grade fever with chills, and the passage of air bubbles in his urine for 15 days. Clinical examination revealed a palpable bladder and suprapubic tenderness. Ultrasonography demonstrated significant post-void residual urine, while computed tomography (CT) urography confirmed a pneumo-bladder featuring irregular mucosal wall thickening and an air-fluid level. Urine culture isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae, which was sensitive to multiple drugs. The patient was managed purely medically without the need for surgical intervention. Treatment included bladder drainage via a 14 Fr. Foley catheter and a 7-day course of oral Faropenem (300 mg twice daily). He responded well and was discharged on day 10 of admission.Conclusion: Although EC is exceptionally rare in males, clinicians must remain vigilant for symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, and pneumaturia, particularly in diabetic patients. Prompt medical intervention, including antibiotic therapy, strict glycemic control, and bladder drainage, can ensure early recovery and prevent severe complications.
