Emphysematous gastritis is a rare variant of phlegmonous gastritis due to invasion of the stomach wall by gas-forming bacteria. We present a case of emphysematous gastritis in a 66-year-old woman admitted with septicaemia, and a review of gas in the wall of the stomach is given with focus on emphysematous gastritis.

Emphysematous gastritis is a rare condition with a high mortality rate. We present a rare case of haemorrhagic emphysematous gastritis in a 70-year-old woman with a background of relapsed endometrioid ovarian cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and recent prednisolone use. A CT scan showed a grossly distended stomach with gas in the stomach wall and gas in the gastric and portal veins in the liver.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined 30 cases of gastrointestinal pneumatosis (GP) in dogs and cats, noting that the most affected areas were the stomach, colon, and small intestine.
- The majority of cases were related to gastrointestinal diseases, with common issues including gastric dilatation and hemorrhagic diarrhea, particularly in dogs receiving certain medications.
- Of the cases, 54% of medically managed animals survived, while surgical intervention only led to survival in 20% of cases, indicating that GP is often linked to other underlying conditions rather than being a standalone issue.

organisms are rare, gram-positive, sugar-fermenting cocci, identifiable in tissues only by histologic examination or molecular testing. Since its discovery, the pathogenicity and relevance of in the human gastrointestinal tract has remained ill-defined. A recent literature review of 66 reported examples demonstrated the potential for severe complications such as emphysematous gastritis and gastric perforation.
