Hepatic portal venous gas is a radiological symptom associated with a poor prognosis (75% to 90% mortality). The aim of this retrospective study was to report 7 cases observed over a 2-year period. ⋯ Hepatic portal venous gas was associated with intestinal necrosis in the seven cases of this series. The severity of portal venous gas is only correlated with the severity of the disease causing portal venous gas.
