Pneumaturia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pneumaturia is the passage of gas or "air" in urine. This may be seen or described as "bubbles in the urine".
A common cause of pneumaturia is vesico-colic fistulae (communications between the colon and bladder). These may occur as a complication of diverticular disease.
Other key differentials:
- Crohn's disease
- Carcinoma of the colon or bladder
- A gas-producing UTI (rare).
