title: Portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis. Rare radiological signs in a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum.
abstract: Portal vein gas is an uncommon ominous radiological sign usually harbouring an intra abdominal catastrophe. When accompanied by pneumatosis intestinalis, it is more predictive of bowel ischemia. We present a case presented with both signs, who suffered from a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum.
