Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a rare condition marked by gas-filled cysts in the submucosa and subserosa of the intestine. It can be idiopathic or linked to several illnesses, including gastrointestinal, pulmonary, collagen vascular disease, organ transplantation, and immunodeficiency. Herein we present a relatively rare case of PI in a 74-year-old man with a childhood history of asthma, which was found during routine colonoscopy.
