She had undergone surgery for duodenal perforation six months earlier and was subsequently lost to follow-up. Her symptoms recently worsened, with significant abdominal distension and vomiting for 3\u00a0weeks. A computed tomography (CT) revealed marked gastric dilatation and fibrotic duodenal bulb stenosis. After gastric decompression, CO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      -insufflated gastroscopy was performed while she remained conscious. Severe gastric distension, retained contents, and limited procedural tolerance and cooperation limited visualization, and an ultrathin gastroscope could not pass &lt;1\u202fmm stenosis. The procedure was terminated without any immediate complications. Later that night, she developed abdominal pain. CT demonstrated extensive PVG and submucosal gastric wall air, with normal inflammatory markers and no signs of perforation. Conservative treatment with continued decompression and acid suppression led to rapid clinical improvement, and repeat CT two days later showed complete resolution of PVG. Endoscopy used standard low-flow CO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      insufflation, total procedure duration was approximately 20\u202fmin, and intermittent suctioning was performed for content removal.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_med-2026-1474_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the setting of chronic gastric outlet obstruction and prolonged gastric distension, impaired mucosal integrity together with increased intragastric pressure may predispose to abnormal CO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      migration into the portal venous system during endoscopy.
