Abstract

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is an uncommon condition characterized by the presence of a collection of individual gas cysts in the submucosa and subserosa of the intestine. The etiology of PCI is still unclear. We experienced 3 cases with PCI during treatment for pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection. Each case was treated conservatively. We believe our case series will highlight the importance of examining the gastrointestinal tract of patients with MAC infection and hopefully elucidate the clinical characteristics of PCI which developed during MAC treatment.

肠道气囊炎（PCI）是一种不常见的疾病，其特征是肠道粘膜下和浆膜下出现单个气囊。PCI 的病因尚不清楚。在治疗肺分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）感染期间，我们遇到了 3 例 PCI 病例。每个病例都接受了保守治疗。我们相信，我们的病例系列将凸显对 MAC 感染患者进行胃肠道检查的重要性，并有望阐明在 MAC 治疗期间出现 PCI 的临床特征。
