Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, life threatening condition where there is severe infection of renal parenchyma causing gas accumulation in the tissue. It is commonly in diabetic and needed to be recognised and treated promptly. We present a case of a female diabetic patient who present with urosepsis secondary to severe type of emphysematous pyelonephritis complicated with paraspinal abscess caused by E coli and successfully treated with antibiotic and drainage via nephrostomy and underwent elective right nephrectomy. She had a good recovery.
