Abstract
Portal vein gas is a rare imaging finding and a concomitant sign of abdominal disease. Here, we report a 64-year-old man with an emphasis on contrast-enhanced ultrasound for describing the findings for portal vein gas and evaluating liver blood perfusion. Ultrasonography is a favorable imaging modality for the rapid bedside evaluation and monitoring of portal vein gas in the emergency room.
