Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is characterised by pathological gas infiltration into the submucosa and subserosa of the gastrointestinal tract, sometimes with an unclear pathogenesis. The clinical presentation of PI varies, with the diagnosis established via computed tomography (CT), where PI manifests as linear or bubbly gas patterns within the bowel wall. Management often necessitates surgical intervention to address potential life-threatening causes like mesenteric ischemia or bowel necrosis.

Background: The computed tomographic (CT) finding of caecal pneumatosis in patients with malignant large bowel obstruction has been associated with ischaemia and impending perforation. Emergency surgery is then usually performed without consideration of endoluminal stenting. The aim of our study was to correlate caecal viability to the CT finding of caecal pneumatosis in patients with acute malignant large bowel obstruction.
