| Popis: | Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) has been found in association with multiple benign and life-threatening conditions. Primary PI is a benign idiopathic condition in which multiple thin-walled cysts develop in the colon. Most often, this form has no symptoms and is detected incidentally during radiography or endoscopy for other reasons. When the cysts protrude into the lumen, they may mimic polyps or carcinoma. Endoscopic ultrasound can be used to confirm the diagnosis before attempting polypectomy or snare biopsy of the lesions. |
