Abstract :
Hepatic portal venous gas is diagnosed via
computed tomography due to unusual imaging features.
Hepatic portal venous gas when linked with pneumatosis
intestinalis has a high mortality rate and required urgent
intervention. We present a case of a 35 year-old male
patient with a 12 hour history of generalised abdominal
pain, watery diarrhoea and vomiting. He had a
background of gout and alcoholism. He had an
unmeasurable blood pressure and sinus tachycardia
when he was first seen. The patient was stabilized after
undergoing vigorous intravenous fluid resuscitation, and
he was then sent for a CT scan. A considerable amount
of hepatic portovenous gas was seen on the CT scan,
coupled with dilated and diffusely aberrant small and
large bowel with mucosal enhancement.
