TL;DRAbstract
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) refers to the presence of gas within the wall of the bowel. Pneumatosis intestinalis can be “benign” or life-threatening (Figure 64.1). CT is more sensitive than radiographs for the detection of PI, although the identification of this finding does not mandate surgery [1].
