摘要
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) and hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) are rare but potentially life-threatening conditions characterized by the presence of gas within the bowel wall and portal venous system, respectively. This case report presents a 45-year-old male with a history of methamphetamine use who developed severe metabolic and hemodynamic instability, marked by altered mental status, metabolic acidosis, and ST elevations. Despite aggressive resuscitation and intensive care, the patient unfortunately succumbed to his condition, highlighting the gravity of these complications. This report underscores the importance of early recognition, comprehensive management, and timely surgical consultation to improve outcomes. It also emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach and further research to better understand these conditions and the significant role of methamphetamine use as a contributing factor.
