Abstract

A benign form of pneumatosis intestinalis has been reported in children with leukemia but also occurs in adults as we report here. Radiologists must be familiar with this entity or a mistaken diagnosis of an abdominal catastrophe will be made, committing the patient to unneccessary emergency surgery.
