ABSTRACT

La presencia de gas portal intrahepático en adultos es un fenómeno multifactorial en el que se comparten factores inflamatorios y protrombóticos sistémicos, frecuente en pacientes con cirrosis hepática avanzada y raro en individuos con hígado sano, sin embargo la presencia de focos inflamatorios abdominales y estados de hipercoagulabilidad secundaria a la respuesta inflamatoria sistémica la hace más frecuente, sus manifestaciones son inespecíficas y variables según la gravedad del cuadro. Presentamos dos pacientes con sintomatología inespecífica y estudios imagenológicos que reportaron gas portal intrahepático, uno secundario a enfermedad diverticular y otro a abscesos hepáticos que evolucionaron favorablemente con tratamiento quirúrgico, antibiótico y anticoagulante.


The presence in adults of intrahepatic portal gas is a multifactorial event in which systemic inflammatory and prothrombotic factors coexist, it is common in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis and rare in those with a healthy liver, however its frequency increases with the presence of inflammatory abdominal disorders and hypercoagulability related to systemic inflammatory response, their manifestations are unspecific and varies according to severity. We study two cases with unspecific symptoms, where imaging studies reported intrahepatic portal gas, one secondary to diverticular disease and the second related to liver abscesses, which favorably response with surgical, antibiotic and anticoagulant treatment.
