Portal venous gas and pneumatosis intestinalis. Rare radiological signs in a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum.

ABSTRACT

Portal vein gas is an uncommon ominous radiological sign usually harbouring an intra abdominal catastrophe. When accompanied by pneumatosis intestinalis, it is more predictive of bowel ischemia. We present a case presented with both signs, who suffered from a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum.
