Pneumatosis intestinalis is a rare condition of air in the bowel wall. Pneumatosis intestinalis is most often secondary to another medical condition. The diagnosis is most often made radiologically with a computed tomography scan. The disease severity ranges from benign to life-threatening. Predictors of poor outcomes include pH less than 7.3, bicarbonate level of less than 20 mEq/L, lactate level of more than 2 mmol/L, amylase level of more than 200 U/L, and portal venous gas on imaging. Early recognition of life-threatening signs and symptoms is critical. Treatment options include bowel rest, antibiotics, surgery, and, more recently, the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is extremely safe, with no reported complications in the literature when used for pneumatosis intestinalis. When surgery is not emergently needed, symptomatic pneumatosis intestinalis can be safely treated with hyperbaric oxygen with a high likelihood of success without any considerable adverse effects.

Pneumatosis Intestinalis in the Small Bowel of an Adult: Report of a Case

We present the case of a 70-year-old man found to have pneumatosis of the small intestine. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan detected massive intramural air in the entire circumference of the small intestine without any venous gas. During emergency surgery, 80 cm of the small bowel was removed. The pathological findings of thrombi in the resected specimen thus indicated that surgical intervention should be immediately performed in patients with pneumatosis throughout the small intestine. CT was useful for confirming the presence of intramural gas in pneumatosis of the small intestine. The presence of a massive amount of intramural gas in the entire small intestine circumference on the CT findings is thus considered to be an early indication of bowel infarction.

Successful Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy of Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinals : A Report of Two Cases

Two patients with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen are described, The first patient was a 52‐year‐old male who presented with bloody stools and was diagnosed as having primary PCI. The second was a 61‐year‐old male whose occupation entailed prolonged exposure to trichloroethylene. Following hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the colonic gas cysts completely disappeared in both patients, and there has been no evidence of recurrence. The relevant literature from 1980 to 1992 is reviewed, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for PCI is discussed in detail. The data accumulated thus far suggest that hyperbaric oxygen is superior to high‐flow oxygen breathing in PCI therapy.
