Leukemic intestinal pneumatosis.

J M Braver, M M Horrow, E Philipps

    Journal of the Canadian Association of Radiologists

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pneumatosis intestinalis, a benign condition, is often seen in children with leukemia but also affects adults. Recognizing this entity prevents misdiagnosis and unnecessary emergency surgery for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Pediatric Oncology

    Background:

    • Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is gas within the intestinal wall.
    • While commonly associated with pediatric leukemia, PI can occur in adults.

    Observation:

    • This report details cases of benign pneumatosis intestinalis in adult patients.
    • The condition mimics more severe gastrointestinal pathologies.

    Findings:

    • Benign pneumatosis intestinalis presents a diagnostic challenge in adults.
    • Radiological recognition is crucial to differentiate it from surgical emergencies.

    Implications:

    • Familiarity with adult benign PI is essential for radiologists.
    • Accurate diagnosis avoids unnecessary surgical interventions and patient distress.
