The disappearing kidney. A case of emphysematous pyelonephritis.

J D Goyzueta1, R Katz, O Dumitrescu, H S Choi, T Kahn.   

Abstract

We describe a case of bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis in which the left kidney could not be visualized sonographically because of multiple irregular air-fluid interfaces. This observation, which to our knowledge has been noted only once before in the literature, may be a diagnostic clue to this potentially fatal disease.
