Core Tip	Hepatic portal venous gas caused by intestinal necrosis is a life-threatening condition and requires surgery. Computed tomography findings of free-air, embolism, lack of contrast enhancement of the intestinal wall, and intestinal pneumatosis are useful criteria to determine the surgical indication. In non-surgical cases, ascites, peritoneal irritation signs and shock were closely associated with poor prognoses, and are valuable as predictors of patients’ prognoses.
