Abstract: Intestinal cystic pneumatosis is a rare condition characterised by the presence of gaseous cysts in the intestinal wall that can affect the entire digestive tract, with a predilection for the small intestine and colon. It is diagnosed by CT scan and surgery can be avoided if there are no complications. The authors report a rare case of cystic pneumatosis of the colon leading to abdominal pain requiring surgery.
