One center experience of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis
2017
Introduction Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare benign condition, in which gas is found in a linear or cystic form in the subserosa or submucosa. The subserous cysts are most frequently found in the small bowel while the submucous localizations are predominantly seen in the colonic wall. Peritoneal pneumatosis, abdominal gas cysts, cystic lymphopneumatosis, intestinal emphysema or intestinal gas cysts are terms used to describe the occurrence of multiple, gas-filled cysts, of the gastrointestinal tract. Incidence of PCI was reported to be 0.03% in the general population. It is a radiographic finding and not a diagnosis, as the etiology varies from benign conditions to fulmin…
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis
1977
Bei der Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis handelt es sich um Gascysten von Stecknadelkopf- bis Kirschgrose, die sich in der Wand des Dunndarms, des Coecums und im linksseitigen Dickdarm finden. Aber auch ein Befall des gesamten Colons ist beschrieben worden. Die Erkrankung kann in jeder Altersstufe auftreten. Histologisch lassen sich bei Serienschnitten kommunizierende Systeme von Gascysten nachweisen, die bei Jugendlichen submucos und im hoheren Alter subseros liegen. Die Zusammensetzung des Gases entspricht der der Atemluft.
Differences in the clinical and radiologic patterns of rotavirus and non-rotavirus necrotizing enterocolitis
1991
We analyzed retrospectively 32 successive infants who developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), 13 with rotavirus (RV) infection (RV+) and 19 RV-negative (RV-). All patients showed at least pneumatosis intestinalis. All patients except one had risk factors for perinatal asphyxia. Our study demonstrated significant differences between RV+ NEC and RV- NEC cases: RV+ NEC infants had a higher birth weight and were born at a later gestational age. Oral feeding was started earlier and symptoms developed later and more insidiously in RV+ patients than in RV- NEC babies. Radiology revealed a less severe and more distal colon involvement in RV+ NEC infants, whereas the RV- NEC patients mostly had s…
Aussagefähigkeit der Abdomenübersichtsaufnahme in der Differenzierung der Rotavirus-negativen und Rotavirus-positiven nekrotisierenden Enterokolitis
1991
Clinical data and radiographic findings of 32 newborn suffering from necrotising enterocolitis were analysed [12 patients with rotavirus-positive necrotising enterocolitis (RV + NEC), 20 patients with rotavirus-negative necrotising enterocolitis (RV-NEC)]. The presence and degree of pneumatosis intestinalis, portal venous gas and pneumoperitoneum on abdominal radiographs were graded after Kosloske et al. according to "mild, moderate, and severe". Pneumatosis intestinalis occurred twice as often in the ascending colon in RV-NEC compared to RV + NEC, whereas the transverse colon was involved nearly as frequently as the descending colon in both groups. Portal venous gas was present in 10% of t…
