Abstract

Emphysematous gastritis is an extremely rare disease with an unfavorable prognosis. To date, very few studies have been conducted regarding the intragastric recovery process based on endoscopic findings. We herein report a case of emphysematous gastritis that improved with long-term (five months) conservative treatment in which we were able to observe the intragastric recovery process endoscopically. In cases in which emphysematous gastritis is suspected, it is important to provide prompt diagnostic imaging (including CT) and early appropriate treatment in order to improve the prognosis.
