Emphysematous cystitis caused by gas fermenting bacterial and fungal pathogens is not seen so commonly [1] and due to it intestinal obstruction is rare. Most common cause of emphysematous cystitis is Escherichia coli bacteria. We reported a case of 67 year old female presented in emergency with abdominal discomfort and not passing flatus and motion since 7 days after bipolar prosthesis replacement surgery. On further investigations and basis of surgery, we found cystitis and intraperitoneal adhesions, causing obstruction.
