Description The authors present a rare case where radiological findings provided an important diagnostic and prognostic role in a surgical patient with abdominal sepsis. The case in interest describes an extremely rare surgical complication of intestinal Crohn’s disease (CD), namely, pylephlebitis and hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG). Key radiological findings and their clinical significance are described to further add to the limited published data available on CD with pylephlebitis and HPVG.
