Abstract

PNEUMATOSIS INTESTINALIS (PI) is an uncommon disorder characterized by an accumulation of gas in the large or small bowel wall, and has been associated with a variety of disorders and procedures. Organ transplantation, bowel ischemia, inflammatory bowel disease, obstructive airway disease, infectious agents, and the administration of steroids or immunosuppressive agents are well known to predispose PI.1 We present a patient with PI determined during exploration, referred to our hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of gastrointestinal system perforation.A 60-year-old male was sent to our hospital with abdominal pain and progressive abdominal distension for 2 days. Lung rear-front x-rays showed free air below the diaphragm. The emergency laparotomy showed serosal and mucosal thickening in the form of segmentary involvement in the ileum section of the intestines and pinhead-sized air-filled sacs in the intestinal serosa and mesentery tissue (Figure 1). No perforation foci were encountered in the stomach, or bowel. PI was therefore suspected under the circumstances; biopsies were taken from the intestinal serosa and mesentery and the laparotomy was concluded. In the pathological examination of the biopsies, connected air filled cysts positioned under the serosa were observed. CROHN’S DISEASE was diagnosed as a result of the biopsies taken from the ulcers.
