Abstract:Emphysematous gastritis is a rare disease with gastric inflammation and intramural gas formation due to gas-forming microorganisms. Early diagnosis and management are important since emphysematous gastritis is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We present a case of emphysematous gastritis in an elderly male which was managed conservatively.
