    Abstract:
    Based on a case report and a review of the literature, the authors describe the features of emphysematous pyelonephritis. This rare disease with a poor prognosis constitutes a difficult clinical diagnosis. The positive diagnosis is based on urgent computed tomography. The reference treatment is emergency nephrectomy in an intensive care context.
