[Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, treated with laparoscopic colectomy].
The authors report a case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis which, after failure of medical treatment, was treated by laparoscopic partial colectomy. Surgical treatment is a last resort and the laparoscopically-assisted approach seems to be a good indication in colectomy for pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis.
