The case of pneumatosis coli presented here was felt to have occurred concomitantly with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in combination with prolonged intestinal distention. This condition usually requires no treatment because it is often self-limiting. In this case, because of radiographic and clinical findings suggestive of intestinal obstruction, the patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy and tube cecostomy for decompression and drainage of the markedly distended cecum and transverse colon.
本文所呈现的结肠积气病例被认为是与慢性阻塞性肺疾病及长期肠道扩张同时发生的。这种情况通常无需治疗，因为它往往是自限性的。在此病例中，由于影像学和临床检查结果提示存在肠梗阻，患者接受了剖腹探查术及盲肠造瘘置管术，以对明显扩张的盲肠和横结肠进行减压及引流。
