Sumario: | A 69-year-old man was admitted to a hospital with complaints of abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. Conservative treatment was effective; however, after discharge, he developed complaints of vomiting. Fluoroscopic enteroclysis revealed a stricture in the jejunum necessitating admission to our hospital. Transoral balloon-assisted enteroscopy showed a circumferential ulcer with a stricture. The stricture was surgically resected, and a histopathological examination was consistent with ischemic enteritis. Stenotic ischemic enteritis should be considered among the differential diagnoses in a patient presenting with hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis showing small intestinal obstruction. |
