‘Benign’ hepatic portal venous gas
Australasian Radiology, 2003SummaryThe presence of portal venous gas within the hepatic parenchyma is usually associated with a guarded prognosis and a mortality rate approaching 75%. However, there are infrequent causes of portal venous gas not associated with dire clinical outcomes.

Portal venous gas is a rare radiologic finding, and the pathophysiology of it is largely unclear. Evidence of portal venous gas prompts urgent evaluation for potential surgical indications, as it can be indicative of an intra-abdominal catastrophe. More commonly, benign reasons for portal venous gas are present, but high index of suspicion is important

Posttraumatic Portal Venous Gas
European Journal of Trauma, 2005Portal venous gas (PVG) is a rare condition that can occur after blunt abdominal trauma. The case of a young boy with PVG after a car crash is reported. The boy died after surgery because of major posttraumatic bowel necrosis. The aim of this article is to show that PVG can be a serious condition after blunt abdominal trauma in children.

Gas in the Portal Venous System
New England Journal of Medicine, 1996Figure 1. A computed tomographic scan of a 73-year-old man with acute epigastric pain and abdominal distention shows gas in the portal venous system (arrows). A plain film of the abdomen did not reveal the gas within the liver. The patient was taken to the operating room, where he was found to have mesenteric ischemia from stenosis of the celiac axis ...

Gas in the Portal Venous System
Radiology, 1961In the past the visualization on a roentgenogram of a branching gas pattern overlying the liver shadow has usually been assumed by the radiologist to be indicative of gas in the biliary tree due to biliary fistula or other biliary tract disease. In recent years, however, there have appeared two reports of gas in the portal venous system, a condition ...

American family physician, 1983
The radiographic finding of gas at the periphery of the liver, extending within 2 cm of the capsule of the liver, indicates that the gas is in the portal system. Hepatic portal venous gas is most frequently associated with necrotic bowel. The mortality rate of patients with this finding is very high.
