  • Title: [Percutaneous drainage in renal emphysema. Clinical case].
    Author: Mancini R, Nani MT, Piperno GC.
    Journal: Arch Ital Urol Nefrol Androl; 1992 Jun; 64(2):123-6. PubMed ID: 1509267.
    Abstract:
    Renal emphysema is a rare and severe infection, that constitutes two clinical entities: emphysematous pyelonephritis and emphysematous pyelitis. We report a case in which the gas is localized both in the collecting system and in the parenchyma of the kidney. In our experience the percutaneous renal drainage has revealed to be able to dominate the infection but not to preserve renal function.
