Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2010 Sep;102(9):557-9. doi: 10.4321/s1130-01082010000900009.

Abstract

The discovery of gas in the portal system related to indolent clinical settings has increased in recent years due to a growth in the performance of imaging tests. We report the first case of spontaneous resolution of portal pneumatosis due to acute gastroenteritis described in the literature.
