Incidental Colonic Pneumatosis Intestinalis With Pneumoperitoneum Managed Conservatively

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Pneumoperitoneum accompanying pneumatosis intestinalis can mimic intestinal perforation but does not always require surgery. In asymptomatic, hemodynamically stable patients without high-risk CT features, conservative management with careful observation and medication review may help avoid unnecessary laparotomy.
