Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) and portal venous gas (PVG) are pathological conditions suggesting serious underlying diseases such as intestinal ischemia, intestinal wall infarction, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Therefore, early detection, comprehensive management, and timely treatment of the underlying disease are important for improving outcomes. We experienced a case of a patient who developed gangrenous cholecystitis secondary to PI and PVG. In this case, it was suggested that gangrenous cholecystitis may have been induced by retrograde infection due to the proliferation of intestinal bacteria and increased intestinal pressure caused by the reduced intestinal peristalsis due to PI and PVG. Herein, we report the successful treatment of this case with a literature review.
肠壁积气(PI)和门静脉积气(PVG)是提示存在严重潜在疾病的病理状况,如肠缺血、肠壁梗死和坏死性小肠结肠炎。因此,早期发现、综合管理和及时治疗潜在疾病对于改善预后很重要。我们遇到一例继发于PI和PVG的坏疽性胆囊炎患者。在该病例中,提示坏疽性胆囊炎可能是由于PI和PVG导致肠蠕动减弱、肠内压力增加,进而肠道细菌增殖引起逆行感染所致。在此,我们报告该病例的成功治疗并进行文献综述。
