A Patient with Generalized Weakness – A Case Report

Darby Graham, MS*, Manparbodh Kaur, MD^, John Costumbrado, MD*^ and Sassan Ghassemzadeh, MD*^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8593C Issue 8:3 No ratings yet.
The CT of the abdomen and pelvis showed evidence of a large subcapsular rim-enhancing fluid collection with multiple gas and air-fluid levels along the right kidney measuring 8 x 4 cm axially and 11 cm craniocaudally (blue outline) with mass effect on the right renal parenchyma (yellow outline). Another suspected fluid collection adjacent to the upper pole of the right kidney measuring 4 x 3.4 cm was noted (red outline). Bilateral pyelonephritis was suggested without hydronephrosis or nephrolithiasis. The findings suggested complicated pyelonephritis with emphysematous abscess and hematoma formation.
