Abstract
Air in the portal venous system after a colonic examination (colonoscopy or barium enema) or umbilical vein catheterization is a benign, selflimiting condition. The underlying intestinal pathology, however, is important in determining the status of the patient. Supportive treatment and antibiotic therapy is all that is needed for these patients.Entities:
