Abstract

A case of gas embolism in the portal vein detected by ultrasound is presented. Gas bubbles were characterized by strong reflections in the lumen of the portal vein, moving into the liver. Because they were trapped in the liver parenchyma, the gas bubbles caused strongly echogenic areas, sometimes with acoustic shadows.
