What Researchers Did
Researchers documented the imaging findings and colonoscopy results for a 32-year-old woman with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, celiac disease, and a salmonella infection.
What They Found
Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) colonography studies showed many diffuse, bubble-like gas collections within the walls of her ascending, transverse, and descending colon. These imaging findings were directly confirmed by a colonoscopy procedure.
