Pneumatosis intestinalis is a rare condition characterized by subserosal and submucosal gas-filled cysts in the gastrointestinal tract; it may be associated with bowel ischemia, perforation, and a high mortality rate. As a result, many authorities advocate an aggressive surgical approach in patients with pneumatosis intestinalis.
