| Abstract: | Emphysematous gastritis and gastric emphysema remain the two most important differential diagnoses of intramural gastric air bubbles, both differing vastly in their clinical presentation, radiographic findings, management and prognosis. This report discusses a case of gastric emphysema along with the importance of reaching an accurate clinical diagnosis early in the disease course. |
