Abstract


Emphysematous gastritis is a condition characterized by gas within the wall of the stomach and associated, systemic toxicity. We are reporting to our knowledge the first case of emphysematous gastritis in a 76 year old female from Islamabad, Pakistan. She was admitted with five day history of upper abdominal discomfort and vomiting. Diagnosis of emphysematous gastritis was made on CT scan. She was treated successfully with conservative management including IV antibiotics and few sessions of dialysis, and was discharged home within two weeks.
