Portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis secondary to intestinal subocclusion: success of non-surgical management

The association of intestinal and portal pneumatosis in the same patient usually occurs in intestinal ischemic-necrotic processes, with ominous prognosis. However, there are forms of presentation outside this context, with a radically different management and evolution. We present the case of a patient with portal and gastric pneumatosis, managed conservatively successfully. The clinical presentation and a multidisciplinary management will be critical in the decision-making process to obtain favorable results.
