Two cases of pneumatosis cystoides coli are reported. The authors present an anatomic and physiopathologic review of the entity and give the list of etiologies with the worse prognosis. The radiologic signs are described and their contribution to an accurate diagnosis is stressed, as it may avoid useless surgical interventions.
