[Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis: the first case in Congo].
We report the first congolese case of intestinal cystic pneumatosis diagnosis at a patient of 64 years who was hospitalized for a glairo-sanguinolent diarrhea, of diffuse abdominal pains and meteorism. Diagnosis was confirmed by the coloscopy which showed polypoïdes formings to fine, translucent walls, depressibles, and for intestinal opacification which showed parietales incomplete images of the left colonist. Evolution was favorable under metronidazol and ciprofloxacin. The coloscopy of control did not find a recurrence.
