N2 - Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare condition characterized by gas within the bladder wall or lumen. EC is most commonly seen in elderly women with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM). Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are most commonly implicated. We present a 68-year-old woman with poorly controlled DM who presented with altered mental state with growth of Candida glabrata in urine and blood cultures. CT abdomen and pelvis revealed air in the bladder lumen and the extraperitoneal space. Bladder rupture was suspected and bladder decompression was managed conservatively with a foley catheter.
