Abstract
Aspirin is well known to damage small intestinal mucosa; however, little is known about the extra-intestinal manifestations of this aspirin-induced small-bowel injury. Herein, we report a case of aspirin-induced small-bowel injury in an 84-year-old Japanese man who presented with portal venous gas. Six weeks after the aspirin was stopped, his abdominal pain gradually resolved. Various intestinal disorders can manifest portal venous gas, and understanding the pathophysiology in such situations can help physicians to avoid anchoring bias in diagnosis.
