AbstractA case of transient pneumatosis intestinalis with gastric pneumatosis and hepatoportal venous gas following blunt abdominal trauma is described. The presence of intramural gas mostly implies intestinal necrosis, which needs emergent surgical exploration. This case demonstrates that conservative management with close clinical observation and follow-up computed tomography scan can be safely applied in selected cases of pneumatosis intestinalis with gastric pneumatosis and hepatoportal venous gas.
