Is surgical intervention avoidable in cases of emphysematous gastritis? A case presentation and literature review

摘要

INTRODUCTIONGas located within the gastric wall is a rare finding that is associated with a mortality rate of 50%. It confers two main diagnoses: gastric emphysema and emphysematous gastritis. Due to its high mortality rate, emphysematous gastritis must be differentiated from gastric emphysema early to avoid adverse outcomes and plan the management of these patients.
