Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis associated with massive free air mimicking perforated diffuse peritonitis

Figure 2 Abdominal CT scan images. Massive intraperitoneal free air extending throughout the abdominal cavity (white arrows, A and B), and a stranded appearance of air collection within the bowel wall detected in the lung window setting, which extended from the jejunum to the splenic flexure of the colon. This indicated that the air was present within the bowel wall (white arrows, C and D). Black arrows indicate massive intraperitoneal air (C).
