A case of perirenal emphysema due to rupture of the duodenum / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

The presence of gas in the substance of the kidney, perinephric area or collecting system may result from infection, penetrating trauma, fistulous connection with the gastrointestinal tract or skin and instrumentation or surgical manipulation. I experienced a case of perirenal emphysema which occurred in rupture of the duodenum due to blunt abdominal trauma.
