A case of colonic pneumatosis cystoides intestinales (PCI) which occurred three days
after a routine colonoscopy is presented. A review of the literature revealed only
two other cases of PCI following colonoscopy.
The close temporal association to the colonoscopy supports the mechanical hypothesis
as the probably mechanism leading to intramural PCI.
