Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis: Not uncommon cause of free air in acute abdomen.
Journal of Visceral Surgery 2018 September 22
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is generally benign in course and sometimes, if cysts ruptured, behave as the not uncommon cause of free air in acute abdomen. In our case, we illustrate ruptured isolated cysts of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis are responsible for pneumoperitoneum in a 94-year-old male patient. Laparotomy with gastrotomy for decompression of intraluminal aeropressure was performed, with an uneventful recovery. This paper presents with preoperative and intraoperative images of high educational value for this, often underdiagnosed, clinical entity.
