dc.description.abstractEmphysematous hepatitis (EH) is a rare, insidious, rapidly progressing, and often fatal liver infection characterized by diffuse air in the liver parenchyma. While infectious parenchymal diseases can affect many intra-abdominal organs such as the kidney, urinary bladder, gall bladder, stomach, and pancreas, liver involvement is uncommon. Few cases of EH have been reported in the literature, with only four successfully treated. Diagnosis involves patient history, clinical and laboratory findings, and computed tomography. Treatment is challenging and requires close monitoring. This case report aims to enhance the understanding of EH's diagnosis and treatment in medical literature. Emphysematous hepatitis (EH) is a very rare and fatal liver infection with diffuse air in the parenchyma. The diagnosis of EH, can be made by patient history, clinical and laboratory findings, and computed tomography. We aimed to contribute to the literature on the diagnosis and treatment process of EH. imageen_US
