Abstract:
Portal vein gas (PVG) is a kind of imaging sign which has been attracting widespread attention in recent years, and its appearance is often accompanied by serious or fatal situation. PVG is not an indication of surgery and the treatments depend on potential diseases. When there are serious potential abdominal diseases, the emergency surgical intervention will be needed. The potential diseases that cause PVG mainly include infectious, ischemic, mechanical and medical. The prognosis is not related with PVG, but is affected by the pathogenesis. Although more and more reports about PVG have been reported in recent years, the research on its pathogenesis is less. Based on the review of the previous literatures, the pathogenesis, risk factors, imaging manifestations, treatment and prognosis of PVG were discussed.
