Case Discussion
A thirty-five years old female patient was referred for evaluation of abdominal pain. She was a known case of diabetes mellitus with renal failure. The scout CT film shows pockets of air collection in the right renal fossa. The NECT confirms the air collection to be in the perinephric space. Contrast study was not done due to poor renal parameters.
