Abstract

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a relatively rare disease which is characterized by multiple gas-filled cysts in the wall of gastrointestinal tract. It is associated with a number of clinical conditions including organ transplantation. We report a 8-year-girl of PCI without definite symptom who was taken liver transplantation after Kasai operation due to biliary atresia. On radiologic finding revealed the multiple clustered localized collection of gas in the ascending and transverse colon. She was asymptomatic and pneumatosis is discovered incidentally on abdominal X-ray at 3 months after liver transplantation. She was taken no specific treatment and discharged. The patient is currently well 6 months post- discharge with the improved abdominal radiographs. (J Korean Soc Transplant 2006;20:269-272)
