  • Title: Pneumatosis coli associated with sigmoid volvulus and colonoscopy.
    Author: Wertkin MG, Wetchler BB, Waye JD, Brown LK.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1976 Mar; 65(3):209-14. PubMed ID: 937319.
    Abstract:
    A case of interstitial emphysema involving the mesentery and serosa of the sigmoid colon after volvulus reduced by colonoscopy is presented. The case is reported as a form of pneumatosis intestinalis although it does not conform to the classical clinicopathologic picture of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. The infrequent occurrence of this condition in association with volvulus and/or colonoscopy is discussed.
