OBJECTIVE We report the first patient to developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) with intrahepatic portal venous gas (IHPVG) and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis following emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. METHODS A 53-year-old man underwent an emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for suspicion of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient developed intra-abdominal hypertension and ACS associated with IHPVG after the endoscopy. Although the patient developed severe shock following ACS, he was managed conservatively and successfully recovered. CONCLUSIONS An emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy may be associated with intra-abdominal hypertension and ACS. Our report provides an additional case of a survivor who required no surgical intervention for ACS and IHPVG following endoscopy.

D003161 Compartment Syndromes Conditions in which increased pressure within a limited space compromises the BLOOD CIRCULATION and function of tissue within that space. Some of the causes of increased pressure are TRAUMA, tight dressings, HEMORRHAGE, and exercise. Sequelae include nerve compression (NERVE COMPRESSION SYNDROMES); PARALYSIS; and ISCHEMIC CONTRACTURE. FASCIOTOMY is often used to decompress increased pressure and eliminate pain associated with compartment syndromes. Compartment Syndrome
