Abstract

An 89-year-old woman who had type 2 diabetes mellitus suddenly presented with abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography showed thickening of the wall and intramural gas in the gastric hilum, suggesting emphysematous gastritis. The patient underwent treatment with a proton-pump inhibitor and broad-spectrum antibacterial agents.

Keywords: emphysematous gastritis; phlegmonous gastritis; portal venous gas.
