We present a case of a 74-year-old-woman who developed 3 episodes of intestinal pneumatosis, 2 times complicated by pneumoperitoneum, with consequent lethal outcome after 4 months. Intestinal pneumatosis, according to the literature, is a difficult and rare problem, associated with a large number of current diseases, can be complicated by pneumoperitoneum, mostly without clear etiology, whose treatment remains empirical (antibiotics, O2-therapy), not excluded laparotomy, if the clinical situation requires it.
我们报告一例74岁女性患者，其出现了3次肠壁囊样积气，其中2次并发气腹，4个月后导致致命后果。根据文献记载，肠壁囊样积气是一个棘手且罕见的问题，与多种现存疾病相关，可并发气腹，多数病因不明，其治疗仍为经验性治疗（抗生素、氧疗），若临床情况需要，不排除剖腹手术。
