    Abstract:
    We report a 58-year-old woman with pneumatosis intestinalis and necrotizing enterocolitis associated with liver cirrhosis. She was receiving treatment for liver cirrhosis and hepatic failure when sudden severe right upper abdominal pain and fever developed. Abdominal radiograph disclosed pneumatosis intestinalis, involving the ascending colon, and small collections of free air along the right hemidiaphragm. The pneumatosis intestinalis appeared in both cystic and linear form. Autopsy revealed necrosis and multiple gas-filled mural cysts in the ascending colon. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported of pneumatosis intestinalis and necrotizing enterocolitis associated with liver cirrhosis.
