Abstract
Abstract
Portal vein gas (PVG) is an abnormal accumulation of gas in the portal vein of the liver and is often indicative of a critical condition, with rapid onset, rapid progression and poor prognosis.We report a case of neoadjuvant treatment of postoperative gastric cancer combined with portal vein pneumatosis that improved after conservative treatment.After 4 cycles of SOX chemotherapy, he underwent total gastrectomy + oesophago-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis with postoperative complications of portal vein pneumatization, and was discharged after 14 hours of conservative treatment.Combined with the previous literature reports, the diagnosis and treatment of the disease are analysed and summarised in order to raise vigilance for early diagnosis and treatment, and also to lay the foundation for the diagnosis and treatment of clinically relevant cases.
