Sumario:Porto-mesenteric venous gas (PMVG) is a severe sign of abdominal organs damage. Imaging diagnostic criteria allow the detection of PMVG and should be applied in the presence of severe symptoms and signs of abdominal organs damage. Our case had clinical signs of epigastric pain and abdominal tenderness and ultrasonography and computed tomography evidence of PMVG and gastric cancer. The subsequent surgery, without complications, induced PMVG to disappear and the patient to be dismissed from hospital.
