Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) formation is regarded as a sign of serious intra-abdominal process. This report presents an abdominal CT scan of a patient with incidental but rare finding of HPVG after nasogastric intubation. The presence of HPVG should prompt a thorough diagnostic evaluation to immediately rule out a catastrophic intra-abdominal condition.
