Abstract
We describe a case of bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis in which the left kidney could not be visualized sonographically because of multiple irregular air-fluid interfaces. This observation, which to our knowledge has been noted only once before in the literature, may be a diagnostic clue to this potentially fatal disease.
