Initial thoughts?
Differential diagnosis?
Next steps in management?
•
•
•
•
A) NPO +/- NG tube decompression
B) Broad-spectrum antibiotics
C) Consult surgery
D) Endoscopy (and timing?)
Clinical course
•
•
•
•
•
•
NPO, IV ceftriaxone and flagyl
General surgery consult
Negative blood and urine cultures
Remained clinically well and nontoxic
Symptoms improved
Tolerated clear liquids for 2-3 days
Clinical course
•
•
•
•
Return of nausea and vomiting
NG tube decompression: >3L nonbloody output
Saline load test markedly positive
Repeat KUB
Endoscopy
Gastric emphysema
• Diagnosis: gastric emphysema due to gastric
outlet obstruction
• Pneumatosis intestinalis
▫ Gastric pneumatosis
 Gastric emphysema
 Emphysematous gastritis
▫ Pneumatosis coli
Clinical questions
• What is pneumatosis intestinalis (PI)?
• Differential diagnosis of PI?
• Management of PI?
▫ Indications for surgery?
▫ Role for endoscopy?
• Relation to gastric outlet obstruction?
What is pneumatosis intestinalis?
• First described in 1754 by Du Vernoy
• Presence of extraluminal bowel gas within bowel
wall
• Breakdown of mucosal and immunological
barrier of intestine, especially in the setting of
increased intraluminal pressure

What is pneumatosis intestinalis?
•
•
•
•
0.03% in general population (autopsy series)
Incidence rising with increasing CT use
Most asymptomatic, incidentally detected
Complications occur in up to 3% of patients
▫ Pneumoperitoneum, bowel obstruction, volvulus,
intussusceptions, hemorrhage

Heng Y et al. Am J of Gastroenterol. 1995; (90)10: 1747-1758.
Differential diagnosis for PI
• Idiopathic (rare) – 10-15% by review of 213 cases
• Secondary
▫
▫
▫
▫
Bowel necrosis
Mucosal disruption
Increased mucosal permeability
Pulmonary disease

DDx PI: Bowel necrosis
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ischemia/infarction
Necrotizing enterocolitis
Neutropenic colitis
Volvulus
Sepsis
In the stomach, emphysematous gastritis or
ingestion of caustic agents
DDx PI: Mucosal disruption
• Over-distention (peptic ulcer, pyloric stenosis,
annular pancreas, or distal obstruction)
• Ulceration, erosions, trauma
• Iatrogenic (feeding tubes, stent perforation,
sclerotherapy, or surgical or endoscopic trauma)
• Connective tissue disease: scleroderma, SLE
• Medications that cause bowel distention:
sortibol, lactulose
DDx PI: Increased mucosal
permeability
• Mucosal erosions or defects in intestinal crypts
(inflammatory bowel disease)
• Immunocompromise (due to steroids,
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or AIDS) with
defects in bowel wall lymphoid tissue
• Acute graft vs. host disease
DDx PI: Pulmonary disease
•
•
•
•
•
•
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Asthma
Cystic fibrosis
Barotrauma
After chest tube placement
Increased intrathoracic pressure (retching,
vomiting, PEEP)
Management of PI
•
•
•
•
•
Exclude acute intra-abdominal emergency
Antibiotics
Elemental diet (for pneumatosis coli)
High-flow oxygen or hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Endoscopic therapy (particularly obstructive
symptoms)
*No randomized controlled data
Indications for surgery
• Clinical indications of bowel ischemia
• Combination of PI and serum lactate >2 mmol/L
associated with >80% mortality (Hawn et al)
• Radiographic signs:
▫ Hepatic portal and portomesenteric venous gas
▫ Vascular distribution suggesting ischemia
▫ Additional abnormal bowel wall findings
• Others: obstruction, ileus, toxic megacolon,
severe collagen vascular disease

Role for endoscopy
• Non-surgical cases
• Diagnosis of underlying etiology
• Gastric emphysema
▫ Submucosal “bubbles” with pale/bluish mucosa
▫ Deflate when biopsied
▫ Edema, erosions
• Emphysematous gastritis
▫ Edematous, friable, ulceration with exudates
▫ Histology: fibrin thrombi, gas-forming organisms,
bacterial infiltration, microabscesses
Cordum NR et al. Am J Gastroenterol 1997; 92:692.
Gastric emphysema in relation to
gastric outlet obstruction
• Well-reported in the pediatric literature
• Most commonly due to pyloric stenosis
▫ Also duodenal stenosis, tumor, protracted
vomiting
• Mortality rate for gastric pneumatosis 41% in
adults, 6% in children

Patient case follow-up
• Esophagus, biopsy
▫ Gastric-type mucosa with mild chronic and focally
acute inflammation
▫ Intestinal metaplasia
• Stomach ulcer, biopsy
▫ Reactive gastropathy
• Stomach, random biopsy
▫ Reactive gastropathy with focal chronic inflammation
• Duodenum “mass”, biopsy
▫ Mild chronic focally active duodenitis, suggestive of
Brunner’s gland hyperplasia
