  • Title: Gastric pneumatosis following nasogastric tube placement: a case report with literature review.
    Author: Zenooz NA, Robbin MR, Perez V.
    Journal: Emerg Radiol; 2007 Jan; 13(4):205-7. PubMed ID: 17109125.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of gastric emphysema following placement of nasogastric (NG) tube. Gas in the wall of the stomach is a rare finding seen in various clinical situations. The reported cases fall into two different categories: "gastric emphysema" and "emphysematous gastritis". Differentiating these two entities is important, as the first one is usually a benign condition, but the second one carries a poor prognosis.
