Abstract

A 72-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with fatigue and epigastric pain. Imaging revealed pneumatosis intestinalis and portomesenteric venous gas (PMVG), ultimately diagnosed as mesenteric infarction. The case highlights PMVG as an urgent radiological sign requiring prompt recognition and surgical consultation in emergency settings. Copyright © 2025 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
