Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare condition characterized by gas-filled cysts within the bowel wall. It may be idiopathic or secondary to a variety of disorders. Associated conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, collagen vascular disease, organ transplantation, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Approximately 15% of cases are idiopathic. We present a case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis complicated by pneumoperitoneum in chronic respiratory failure due to a post-tuberculosis destroyed lung. Successful palliation involved paracentesis of the peritoneal air and oxygen therapy.
