Abstract:
The presence of gas in the biliary tract is commonly secondary to a serious disorder, including mainly profound visceral infection or intestinal necrosis. Hepatic Portal Venous Gas (HPVG) is even rarer and has been historically associated with dismal outcome. In this brief report, we evoke this entity emphasizing its etiology, the role of Computerized Tomography (CT) in establishing the diagnosis, and treatment orientations.
