Emphysematous gastritis (EG) is a rare disease of the stomach that is caused by gas-forming bacteria, and it can be lethal. There have been <70 reported cases in the English literature of this disease which carries a mortality rate up to 60%. Early recognition and treatment through conservative management have been a popular and successful choice in today's medicine. Studies have shown that surgical intervention does not confer a statistical benefit on mortality in this condition. We present another case of EG in a 33-year-old woman who was successfully managed conservatively.
气肿性胃炎（EG）是一种由产气细菌引起的罕见胃部疾病，可能致命。英文文献中报道的该疾病病例不足70例，死亡率高达60%。在当今医学中，通过保守治疗进行早期识别和治疗一直是一种常用且成功的选择。研究表明，在这种情况下手术干预对死亡率并无统计学上的益处。我们报告了另一例33岁女性气肿性胃炎病例，该患者通过保守治疗成功治愈。
