title: [Echographic and x-ray computed tomographic aspects of pneumatosis cystoides of the colon in the adult. Apropos of a case].
abstract: A case of pneumatosis cystoides Coli located in the sigmoid in an adult is reported, with emphasis on US and CT aspects. CT patterns of pneumatosis cystoides Coli are highly significative; particularly attenuation values measured in the endoluminal polypoid images are characteristics and represent an interesting contribution to the diagnosis of this disease.
