Isolated emphysematous prostatitis: A very rare entity

Abstract

Emphysematous prostatitis is characterized by their rarity and its severity. It often occurs in older diabetics. This study reports a new case of an isolated emphysematous prostatitis in a 66-year-old patient which presented with mental confusion and severe sepsis. Computed tomography revealed intra parenchymal air bubbles of the prostate which evolved well after early resuscitation and rapid and effective antibiotic therapy. Emphysematous prostatitis is an uncommon but potentially serious disorder that has the potential for causing problems if not diagnosed at the early stage and treated promptly.
