case_images: A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated no evidence of an acute intra-abdominal disturbance (Figure 1). An extensive amount of gas, however, was found in the portal venous system (Figure 1).
case_images: Repeat computed tomography scan (3 hours later) with oral contrast showing resolution of hepatic portal venous gas.

case_images: Although the results reflected a diminished amount of portal venous gas, there was no evidence of any acute abdominal pathology that may have caused the hepatic portal venous gas (Figure 2).
