This is the first case report in which computed tomography (CT) images of a patient with emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) capture the time course of emphysema from onset to resolution through conservative treatment. To re-evaluate EPN, including refractory urinary tract infections, CT scans after 72 h might be helpful.
