  • Title: [Pneumatosis intestinalis: a rare and difficult problem].
    Author: Guerra A, Bogen M, Müller W, Pedrinis E.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1994 Dec; 60(6):949-52. PubMed ID: 7876018.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a 74-year-old-woman who developed 3 episodes of intestinal pneumatosis, 2 times complicated by pneumoperitoneum, with consequent lethal outcome after 4 months. Intestinal pneumatosis, according to the literature, is a difficult and rare problem, associated with a large number of current diseases, can be complicated by pneumoperitoneum, mostly without clear etiology, whose treatment remains empirical (antibiotics, O2-therapy), not excluded laparotomy, if the clinical situation requires it.
