✦ Synopsis

Portal vein gas embolism was demonstrated by ultrasound in a preterm infant with necrotizing enterocolitis. This sign could not be detected radiographically. It is speculated that portal venous gas occurs more frequently than hitherto inferred from radiological studies. This observation points to the value of ultrasonography in providing early objective evidence in support of the diagnosis of NEC. The favourable outcome for the patient proves that portal venous gas embolism is not necessarily associated with a fulminant course of enterocolitis.

## Abstract We report a case of right‐to‐left intrapulmonary (IP) shunting of venous gas bubbles at a high level of exercise after diving. The diagnosis was made using a 4‐chamber view of the heart via echocardiography during exercise. This case is the first in which we could find evidence of IP sh
