Pneumatosis Intestinalis: Can We Avoid Surgical Intervention in Nonsurgical Patients
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 09/22/09

Al–Talib A et al. – The authors present a case of PI who was treated conservatively and in whom PI resolved completely and present a literature review of conservative management. It is not difficult to make a precise diagnosis of PI and to prevent unnecessary surgical intervention, especially when PI presents without clinical evidence of peritonitis. Conservative treatment is possible and safe for selected patients. Awareness of these rare causes of PI and close observation of selected patients without peritonitis may prevent unnecessary invasive surgical explorations.
