    Abstract:
    Three patients with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis had been reported. All patients are females with lesions in the left and sigmoid colon, grouped as idiopathic etiology. Two patients are in middle age, workers in the manufacturing plant for electric apparatus. One patient received surgical resection of the affected segment. After oral antibiotics treatment, one patient was resected only the intensely affected segment, so that many cysts were still remained, but they disappeared after 3 weeks. One patient was treated with lactobacillus preparations and lactulose. Her subjective symptoms and fecal occult blood disappeared, and X-ray studies and endoscopic examination revealed an almost complete recovery.
