Abstract

Pneumatosis intestinalis is a rare entity, characterized by multiple air cysts in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. Free intraperitoneal air (gas) develops in pneumatosis intestinalis whenever one of the subserosal gas cysts ruptures. We present a case of pneumatosis intestinalis associated with massive peritoneal free air that mimicked intestinal perforation. This case highlights the importance of recognizing pneumatosis intestinalis as a cause of possible massive intraabdominal free air.

Özet

Pnömatosis intestinalis gastrointestinal traktın duvarında çok sayıda gaz kistleri ile karakterize nadir bir antitedir. Subserozal kistlerin rüptürü halinde pnömatosis intestinaliste intraperitoneal serbest hava gelişir. Burada intestinal perforasyonu taklit eden masif peritoneal havanın eşlik ettiği pnömatosis intestinalis olgusunu sunduk. Bu olgu bize masif intraabdominal serbest hava varlığına sebeb olan etmenlerin biri olarak pnömatosis intestinalisin tanınmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
