ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 49-year-old diabetic patient with emphysematous pyelonephritis. Taking into consideration the patient's young age, renal failure and the absence of large parenchymatous lesions, we decided on conservative treatment consisting of percutaneous drainage and antibiotics. Based on our case and a review of the literature we discuss the various treatment modalities
