    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 63-year-old patient suffering from myotonic dystrophy, complicated with respiratory insufficiency, who presented a pneumoperitoneum without sign of peritonitis. Diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides coli was based on CT scan evidence. Given oxygenotherapy and antibiotherapy, the patient rapidly improved. The association between the two affections has, to our knowledge, not been previously described.
