case_images: (a and b) The first CT scan indicated that the gas was located at the liver edge (yellow arrow) more like HPVG. (c and d) Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT showed a significant reduction of gas. Compared with the yellow arrows in (a and b) the gas shadows in (c and d) are significantly reduced. (e and f) In contrast to the yellow arrows in (a and b), contrast-enhanced abdominal CT showed disappearance of intrahepatic biliary tract gas.

case_images: Abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed at a local hospital indicating HPVG (Figure 1a and b; the yellow arrow points to the gas shadow) and for this reason the patient was referred to our hospital for treatment on the day of onset. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT was performed 3 hours after the first plain CT scan and revealed a significant reduction of intrahepatic biliary tract gas (Figure 1c and d). Two days later, enhanced abdominal CT showed that intrahepatic biliary tract gas had disappeared (Figure 1e and f).
