Abstract

We report an usual case of hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) in the setting of acute pancreatitis and small bowel ischemia. Interestingly, the HPVG disappeared within 2 hours of the original computed tomography scan, despite the patient having small bowel ischemia. The patient had a complicated clinical course, dying 62 days postadmission. This case highlights that HPVG in setting of acute pancreatitis and small bowel ischemia has a very high morbidity and mortality, requiring early detection and aggressive surgical management.
