“…Sepsis, immaturity of intestinum and ischaemia are factors that have been associated with NEC 1. Usually, the extent of pneumatosis intestinalis (the presence of intramural gas) shown in our patient and the presence of portal vein gas indicate severe NEC 2 , 3. In the case presented, the clinical course of NEC was and remained mild despite the surprisingly extensive and fulminant radiological changes.…”

“…In infancy, isolated gastric pneumatosis has been seen very rarely in gastric outlet obstruction. It has also been reported in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, in association with intestinal pneumatosis (Bell, Graham, and Stevenson, 1971;Santulli et al, 1975) though it may rarely be isolated (Robinson, Grossman, and Brumley, 1974). Thus, radiographic detection of gastric pneumatosis indicates serious underlying disease and determination of its cause will depend on the associated clinical findings, a point illustrated by the 2 cases presented here.…”

“…Hepatic portal venous gas is often associated with pneumatosis intestinalis. Indeed, as Bell et al 11 reported, 97% of cases of necrotizing enterocolitis were associated with pneumatosis intestinalis, and 27% of cases of pneumatosis intestinalis were associated with hepatic portal venous gas.…”

We report two cases of pneumatosis intestinalis and hepatic portal venous gas. The first case was in a 67-year-old woman who complained of strong right lower abdominal pain and high fever on the twelfth day after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with portal vein (PV) resection. Abdominal X-ray and computed tomography showed hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis. The emergency laparotomy performed disclosed extensive necrosis of the bowel from the jejunum to the ascending colon. All necrotic parts of the bowel were resected and a jejunostomy was performed. The residual intact small intestine was 30 cm in length. Her postoperative course was stable. This is a rare complication after PD and cannot be cured by any other treatment but surgery. The second case was in a 45-year-old woman with the chief complaint of abdominal pain and constipation. She had a past history of chronic toluene inhalation. Abdominal X-ray and computed tomography also showed hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis, as well as free air, but no physical examination or laboratory test results supported a diagnosis of bowel necrosis. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy effectively controlled the symptoms and signs.
