Abstract
Portal pneumatosis has been considered an ominous sign associated with intestinal ischemia, with a mortality rate of up to 90% as long as it is associated with sepsis. However, the prognosis of mesenteric ischemia depends on the etiology rather than the presence of portal pneumatosis. We present a patient with portal pneumatosis that disappeared 24 hours after the first surgery, but irreversible ischemic lesions were established in the terminal ileum. It should be noted that the excretion of the intravenous contrast is mainly through the kidneys, and it can be eliminated through alternative routes such as the bile duct or the mucosa of the small intestine (vicariant excretion), especially in patients with renal pathology.
