- Abstract
Pneumatosis intestinalis is defined as the presence of gas in the bowel wall. The combination of the two risks, pre‐existing connective tissue diseases and barium contrast examination, may trigger pneumatosis intestinalis, albeit at a low incidence. Clinicians should be aware of the condition for proper differential diagnosis.
