“…A pneumoportogram is described as the presence of air in the hepatic portal venous system (hepatic portal venous gas, HPVG), typically at the periphery of the liver in contrast to an aerobilie [3] and was first described in 1955 by Wolfe and Evans [4] . HPVG is a rare condition and can be associated with an overall mortality rate up to 40% [5] coming down from 75% as observed in a literature survey in 1978 [6] .…”
HighlightsA Conservative treatment of hepatic portal venous gas is described.The literature showed only one clinical trial establishing a scoring system.A pneumoportogram (hepatic portal venous gas) is a very rare and from poor prognosis.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
