Sažetak
Imaging of patient with vomiting and abdominal pain is often crucial to identify pathological substrate as clinical findings are rarely specific. When intramural gas in gastric wall is detected, gastric pneumatosis needs to be differentiated from infective emphysematous gastritis. Thin intramural gas lucency in posterior fundus of the distended stomach suggests diagnosis of gastric pneumatosis. The lack of predisposing factors, clinical presentation and identification of underlying cause (incarcerated hernia) further substantiate the final diagnosis of gastric pneumatosis.
