Figure 13 Emphysematous pyelonephritis. A: Coronal computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrating heterogeneous enhancement of the left kidney with multifocal hypoattenuating renal cortical lesions (white arrow); B: Axial computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrating heterogeneous enhancement of the left kidney with multifocal hypoattenuating renal cortical lesions (white arrow); C: Coronal view demonstrating a focus of cortical air within the left superior renal pole (white arrow). These findings are consistent with emphysematous pyelonephritis, characterized by abscess formation.
