title: [Pneumatosis of the intestinal wall and portal venous gas].
abstract: Portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis are rare but important radiographic findings. Combination of these conditions is strongly associated with transmural bowel infarction with high mortality. We present a case of an 82-year-old woman who was admitted to our department for acute abdomen with these two findings on CT scans.
