ABSTRACT

Portal gas embolism is a rare entity and considered a sign of poor prognosis in abdominal diseases, its mortality rate is about 75%. This case report is about a 61-year old patient with portal gas embolism and acute liver ischemia, evolving to death within 24 hours. Some cases reported in the literature demonstrate the severity of this dramatic condition. It is necessary to have a higher level of suspicion in the vascular structures of the abdomen in order to allow a timely treatment.

KEYWORDS

Portal gas embolism, liver ischemia, pneumatosis intestinalis, vena cava gas.
