    Author: Vas W, Carlin B, Salimi Z, Tang-Barton P, Tucker D.
    Journal: Comput Radiol; 1985; 9(1):37-9. PubMed ID: 3987238.
    Abstract:
    Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare but frequently fatal complication of renal infection in the diabetic patient. The diagnosis is usually only made roentgenographically. We present a patient in whom the initial plain abdominal film was normal and renal sonogram was nondiagnostic. The correct diagnosis was made only on the subsequent CT scan.
