Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is characterized by the presence of air within the walls of the small intestine, large intestine, and sometimes the gastric wall. The mechanism and pathogenesis of PI are poorly understood. The discovery of PI can occur in the form of an incidental finding, such as a benign course or a life-threatening condition, such as intestinal ischemia.

Emphysematous gastritis (EG) is a rare but potentially fatal form of gastric pneumatosis caused by gas-forming organisms infiltrating the gastric wall, often in the context of mucosal injury or systemic vulnerability such as chronic alcohol use. We present the case of a 55-year-old male with a history of daily alcohol consumption who arrived with severe epigastric pain and over 100 episodes of vomiting in a single day. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, electrolyte imbalances, and acute kidney injury, while CT imaging showed gas within the gastric wall, consistent with EG.
