Intramural gastric air is a rare but potentially life-threatening imaging finding. We present the case of a 56-year-old female patient with a history of schizophrenia, who presented with multiple episodes of vomiting and altered mental status. CT scan revealed intramural gastric air and portal venous gas. The patient was treated conservatively with a favorable outcome. Gastric emphysema and emphysematous gastritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of air in the gastric wall. It is critical to distinguish between these 2 entities as their clinical course and management differ significantly, although radiographic findings may mimic each other. |
