Abstract
Computed tomography showing portal and mesenteric venous gas and intestinal pneumatosis, rare radiological signs that, together, favor the diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia (70% of cases). When present, mortality is around 40-90%. Surgical exploration is mandatory with assessment of the extent of intestinal ischemia and appropriate treatment.
