Gas within the wall of the stomach due to emphysematous gastritis: case report and review

Walther N K A van Mook et al. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2002 Oct.

Abstract

Emphysematous gastritis is a rare variant of phlegmonous gastritis due to invasion of the stomach wall by gas-forming bacteria. We present a case of emphysematous gastritis in a 66-year-old woman admitted with septicaemia, and a review of gas in the wall of the stomach is given with focus on emphysematous gastritis.
