Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Emphysematous gastritis (EG) has a nonspecific presentation, so radiography is an essential diagnostic tool. There is usually a high mortality rate and poor prognosis associated with EG.
Case Report: A 38-year-old male with a history of recurrent seminoma who received chemotherapy and underwent stem cell transplantation before he was diagnosed with EG. During the hospital course, the patient developed gastrointestinal symptoms, neutropenic fever and, subsequently, multi-organ failure. Medical imaging reported findings consistent with EG. The patient was managed conservatively with subsequent recovery and resolution of EG on repeat medical imaging. Conclusion: Emphysematous gastritis in the setting of immunosuppression and multi-organ failure can be managed successfully with prompt diagnosis and conservative management. | |
