Multi-slice computed tomography diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis with pneumoperitoneum in high-altitude regions: preventing unnecessary laparotomies
In high-altitude regions, the presence of PCI should be considered when MSCT reveals pneumoperitoneum. In cases of pneumoperitoneum caused by PCI, which does not typically require urgent surgery, MSCT clearly delineates the site and extent of lesion involvement, as well as any intestinal and extra-intestinal complications.
