[Management of the emphysematous pyelonephritis].
We report two cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis in diabetic patients. The first suffered from emphysematous pyelonephritis and emergency nephrectomy was performed. The second patient suffered from emphysematous pyelitis and was successfully treated by nephrostomy. We present a comprehensive review of the literature on emphysematous pyelonephritis and discuss the indications and the results of treatments of this rare and severe infection.
