복부 Computed Tomography 촬영을 통해 기종성 신우신염으로 발견된 의식 변화 환자 = Altered Mentality Patient with Emphysematous Pyelonephritis Disclosed by Abdominal Computed Tomography

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute gas forming necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma with high mortality, which shows non-specific clinical findings. Elderly patients with altered mentality and shock require careful monitoring and abdominal computed tomography scanning is thought to be beneficial in prompt detection of infection focus and management. We report on a patient with altered mentality who showed emphysematous pyelonephritis on abdominal computed tomography and provide a review of the literature.
