CAMARGO, Nataly; BENAVIDES, María Alejandra; PARRA-MEDINA, Rafael e PEREZ, Cristian. Cystic intestinal pneumatosis in a young adult with no clinical history: Case report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.47-51. Epub 21-Fev-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.530.
Cystic intestinal pneumatosis refers to the presence of gas within the wall of the small or large intestine. It can be asymptomatic and life-threatening when complications occur. The causes of this entity include pulmonary, systemic, intestinal, drug, iatrogenic and traumatic factors. The following is the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with pain in his lower hemiabdomen and had no previous medical history. Imaging scans showed intestinal cystic pneumatosis and secondary pneumoperitoneum and peritonitis. The patient was taken to laparotomy, and a colonic segment was resected and sent to pathology. The diagnosis was confirmed by a biopsy. The patient was discharged after completing antibiotic treatment.
