Neobladder Obstruction: A Non-ischemic Cause for Hepatic Portal Venous Gas: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare ominous radiological sign usually indicative of mesenteric ischemia. Increased detection of HPVG has been associated with a growing number of non-ischemic causes. A 64-year-old gentleman following radical cystectomy and neobladder formation developed clinical signs suggestive of bowel obstruction. HPVG was demonstrated on abdominal imaging. Urgent laparotomy revealed no evidence of ischemia. We hypothesize an obstructed neobladder permitted gas to enter the mesenteric circulation. The patient made a complete recovery with supportive management.

BACKGROUND Hepatic portal venous gas associated with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia is indicative of a serious pathology that leads to bowel necrosis and it has a high mortality rate. Although non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia is acknowledged as a condition that requires early surgical treatment, it has been reported that bowel necrosis and surgical resection of the gangrenous lesion may be ...
