Pneumatosis cystoids intestinalis (PCI) is characterized by the presence of gas retained within the submucosal or subserosal layer of the intestinal wall. A 71-year-old man complained of equivocal abdominal symptoms including abdominal flatulence, diarrhea, and constipation, since the age of 50 years. On total colonoscopy (TCS) and double contrast enema, many cystic elevated lesion, resembling submucosal tumors, were seen in the ascending colon and transverse colon. The same findings were noted on computed tomography colonography. Further more, gas retained within the submucosal tumor-like lesions of the intestinal wall was observed. Based on these findings the diagnosis of PCI was confirmed. The patient is being treated conservatively and there has been no change after one year of follow-up. We found CTC to be useful in non-invasively diagnosing PCI basedon finding intestinal cysts and gas retained within the intestinal wall. Therefore, CTC is indicated to confirm the diagnosis of PCI in patients for whom other examinations are too difficult to do.
