Diffuse pneumatosis intestinalis caused by food protein-induced enterocolitis—a case report
Although PI is mainly present in preterm infants as a sign of NEC, it can be present in infants beyond the neonatal period. The differential diagnosis of PI is wide and depends on the age of presentation. FPIES secondary to CMP is a more common disease, and can present with severe manifestations, and should be suspected when other diagnoses are ruled out.
