Abstract

Pneumatosis intestinalis may be idiopathic or associated with numerous conditions. Uncommonly, it has been associated with organ transplantation. We report one case of pneumatosis intestinalis after lung transplantation in an adult patient. To our knowledge, this finding has not been reported in the radiology literature.
