Özet

Introduction: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition with an unknown origin, defined as the appearance of gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall. It usually occurs due to other clinical origins. Radiological imaging has been suggested for diagnosis. The treatment varies according to the patient's clinical condition and radiological imagings from conservative treatment to the intestinal resection.
