Gastric pneumatosis is an infrequent entity. The clinical course may oscillate from an asymptomatic or mild condition (gastric emphysema) to a severe disorder with high mortality (emphysematous gastritis). Diagnosis with imaging techniques is based on radiological evidence of air in the gastric wall.
