Abstract
Key Clinical MessageWe found an extremely rare case of PVG after a barium swallow examination. This may be related to vulnerable intestinal mucosa in the patient undergoing prednisolone treatment. Conservative therapy should be considered for patients with PVG without bowel ischemia or perforation. Caution should be exercised during barium examination undergoing prednisolone treatment.
