    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2007 Oct; 51 Spec No.():B137-9. PubMed ID: 17875136.
    Abstract:
    Pneumatosis Intestinalis in association with portal venous gas is a very rare finding in children and young adults. When present, it is typically associated with bowel infarction and carries a poor prognosis. We present an extremely unusual case where imaging revealed extensive pneumatosis intestinalis and portal venous gas in a patient with acute appendicitis.
