  • Title: Pneumoperitoneum due to PCI in a patient with a strangulated femoral hernia.
    Author: Kelly B, Cooper GG, Mills J.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pract; 1993; 47(5):272. PubMed ID: 8292479.
    Abstract:
    Although pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a well-recognised condition, an individual surgeon is unlikely to encounter it often. The collected experience of two surgical units in Glasgow teaching hospitals over a 15-year period consisted of five patients. Surgical and radiological trainees may therefore have little or no exposure to the diagnostic difficulties this condition can cause. We report an illustrative case.
