Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis can present with concurrent diaphragmatic cysts, a previously undocumented phenomenon. Surgical management may be required, but further investigation is needed to understand the pathogenesis and optimize management in atypical and chronic cases, such as this case with a history of corrected intestinal malrotation.

Recent studies suggest that the gastrointestinal tract may be an effective target for the treatment of respiratory diseases. However, the alterations of the gut-lung axis in TDI-induced asthma remain unexplored.

Objectives: Ultrasound is the criterion standard imaging modality for the diagnosis of intussusception. However, to our knowledge the utility of abdominal radiographs to concurrently screen for pneumoperitoneum or other abdominal pathology that could have a similar presentation has not been studied. Our institutional protocol requires the performance of AP supine and left lateral decubitus views of the abdomen prior to ultrasound evaluation for intussusception, providing an opportunity to examine the yield of abdominal radiographs in this setting.

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a relatively rare gastrointestinal finding that has a wide variety of causes - ranging from benign to life-threatening. It is described as the pathological presence of gas within the bowel wall with multiple hypotheses emerging as to the likely mechanism. An important indicator of a life-threatening source of PI is the presence of gas within the hepatic portal vein, referred to as hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG).
