RESUMO
Emphysematous hepatitis is a rare fatal rapidly progressive fulminant infection of hepatic parenchyma seen in the setting of diabetes characterised by replacement of hepatic parenchyma with gas collection. There is paucity of literature with regard to pathogenesis, implicated organisms, imaging appearance and management of this condition. We report a case with extensive segmental replacement of liver parenchyma with gas. The fatality of this condition warrants awareness of this entity amongst radiologists and clinicians alike for early diagnosis and aggressive management.

Recurrent small-bowel volvulus is a state of recurrent intermittent or long-standing persistent twisting of small-bowel loops around its mesentery. The association of mesenteric cysts with recurrent small-bowel volvulus as the cause or effect is a much debated issue in the literature. We report two cases of mesenteric lymphangioma and one case of enteric duplication cyst seen in association with recurrent small-bowel volvulus of long duration in absence of malrotation.
