Abstract
A case of radiologically demonstrable gas gangrene of the colon was proved pathologically to be caused by C. perfringens. The case was radiologically indistinguishable from that of bowel infarction. When intramural gas is seen in patients with the symptoms of toxemia but without the bloody diarrhea associated with bowel infarction, infectious gas gangrene should be considered.
