PNEUMATOSIS CYSTOIDES INTESTINALIS - RARE CAUSE OF NON-SURGICAL PNEUMOPERITONEUM

For the first time, intestinal air cysts were described by Du Vernoi in 1783. For more than 230-year history of studying this disease, a large number of clinical examples, reviews and hypotheses have been accumulated in the literature, explaining the pathogenesis of the pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and treatment methods. The clinical symptoms of this disease are extremely nonspecific, the anamnestic features are also often absent, therefore intestinal emphysema is most often detected as a concomitant state or intraoperatively, if we are talking about a complicated case. The article presents a clinical case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, the only manifestation of which was free gas in the abdominal cavity, which served as an indication for emergency surgery. The scanty clinical symptoms and normal laboratory findings usually tend the surgeon to choose less invasive research methods, but diagnostic laparoscopy in the described case was impossible due to repeated surgical interventions on the abdominal organs, as well as the presence of contraindications from the pulmonary system. The described observation indicates the existence non-surgical causes of pneumoperitoneum, despite its high specificity in the diagnosis of hollow organs perforations.
