Abstract
Emphysematous cystitis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of gas in the bladder wall and lumen result of the colonization by fermentative microorganisms. Most of the cases have been described in middle-age woman suffering from Diabetes Mellitus, being less frequently in immunosuppressive patients. We report here a patient with Microscopic Poliangeiitis who developed emphysematous cystitis as a complication of immunosuppressive therapy.
