Emphysematous prostatic abscess is described as a very rare but fatal urinary tract infection.
Early diagnosis and effective treatment for emphysematous prostatic abscess are important and may reduce mortality and improve prognosis.
In the reported case, the patient deteriorated rapidly after admission and recovered immediately after transurethral internal resection of the prostatic abscess.
