Emphysematous cystitis is often indicated in patients who have air in the urine. [6] In some cases, emphysematous cystitis can cause thickening of the bladder wall. [ 7 ] Clinical subcutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of emphysematous cystitis that has a poor prognosis.
Hamman's syndrome, also known as Macklin's syndrome, is a syndrome of spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema [1] (air in the subcutaneous tissues of the skin) and pneumomediastinum (air in the mediastinum, the center of the chest cavity), sometimes associated with pain and, less commonly, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), dysphonia, and a low-grade fever.
A gas-producing UTI (emphysematous cystitis: rare). Emphysematous pyelonephritis. Male scuba divers utilizing condom catheters or female divers using a She-p external catching device for their dry suits are also susceptible to pneumaturia. [1]
[104] [105] Pregnancy is an exception and it is recommended that women take seven days of antibiotics. [ 106 ] [ 107 ] If not treated it causes up to 30% of mothers to develop pyelonephritis and increases risk of low birth weight and preterm birth . [ 108 ]
Paraseptal emphysema, also called distal acinar emphysema, relates to emphysematous change next to a pleural surface, or to a fissure. [ 18 ] [ 26 ] The cystic spaces known as blebs or bullae that form in paraseptal emphysema typically occur in just one layer beneath the pleura.
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema often resolves gradually and may take 2–3 weeks. [2] For longer durations of PIE the length of time of mechanical ventilation needed may increase and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia becomes higher. Some infants may develop chronic lobar emphysema, which may require surgical lobectomies. [3]
A lung cyst, or pulmonary cyst, encloses a small volume of air, and has a wall thickness of up to 4 mm. [3] A minimum wall thickness of 1 mm has been suggested, [3] but thin-walled pockets may be included in the definition as well. [4] Pulmonary cysts are not associated with either smoking or emphysema. [5]
Treatment of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis involves antibiotics as well as surgery. Removal of the kidney is the best surgical treatment in the overwhelming majority of cases, although polar resection (partial nephrectomy) has been effective for some people with localized disease.
