Key Words	Bowel ischemia; Pneumatosis; Mesenteric venous gas; Computed tomography
Core Tip	Although the finding of pneumatosis plus porto-mesenteric venous gas is useful in verifying transmural necrosis with a specificity of 83%, the very low sensitivity of 17% indicates that the diagnosis of transmural necrosis cannot be excluded based on a normal findings. Thus, our results appear to be encouraging by indicating that neither portomesenteric venous gas nor pneumatosis were pathognomonic of bowel transmural infarction.
