“…Until January 1999 only 36 cases had been reported in the literature 4 . The CT appearances of the condition have been described previously; however, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case that has demonstrated portal venous gas as well as gas within the stomach wall 5–8 …”

Emphysematous gastritis is a rare form of gastritis that results from infection of the stomach wall by gas-forming organisms. Diagnosis of this commonly fatal condition rests on radiological demonstration of gas within the stomach wall. This can be observed on plain radiographs or CT scans of the abdomen. Only by prompt diagnosis and treatment can mortality be avoided. A new case of empysematous gastritis, diagnosed on CT scan by the demonstration of both intramural and portal venous gas, is presented and the literature is reviewed.

“…Computerized tomography is the golden method of diagnosis as it documents the presence of air in the gastric wall and thickening of the wall might be seen; [8,9] however, a plain X-ray can detect presence of air as well [2].…”

Gastric emphysema (GE) is a rare radiological finding; Only 41 cases have been reported in literature between 1889-2003. During our review we found 22 cases that are reported in the last decade. The difficulty to differentiate GE from Emphysematous gastritis -which entails a more malignant course, poses a challenge to the clinicians in management. To our knowledge this is the first case of gastric emphysema presenting with chest pain and vomiting.We present a case of a diabetic woman whom presented with chest pain found vomiting and admitted initially as a cardiac case. Later on her admission she was found to have gastric emphysema. She was treated conservatively and had a full recovery.
