Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pneumatosis cystoid intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition characterized by gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall.
  • Duodenal ulcers and pyloric stenosis can present with complex gastrointestinal symptoms.

Observation:

  • A unique case of PCI co-occurring with a duodenal ulcer and pyloric stenosis was identified.
  • The patient's clinical presentation was diagnostically challenging, mimicking other acute abdominal conditions.

Findings:

  • This represents the first documented case of pneumatosis cystoid intestinalis in Sudan and the broader African continent.
  • Literature review confirmed the rarity of this specific association.

Implications:

  • Considering PCI in the differential diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum secondary to duodenal ulceration is crucial.
  • Timely diagnosis of PCI can help avoid unnecessary exploratory laparotomy, improving patient outcomes.
