    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Gastric emphysema is a rare condition characterized by intramural gas accumulation in the stomach wall.
    • The gas originates from a nonbacterial source, distinguishing it from infectious causes.

    Observation:

    • Gastric distension and vomiting are frequently observed preceding events.
    • Pulmonary disease, gastric instrumentation, and obstructing lesions of the antrum and pylorus are common contributing factors.

    Findings:

    • The study presents a case report detailing an instance of gastric emphysema.
    • An extensive review of the existing literature on gastric emphysema is also provided.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the etiology of gastric emphysema is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Further research may elucidate the precise mechanisms leading to intramural gas formation in the stomach.
