Most cases are benign, but some with portal venous gas or intestinal infarction are severe. The pathogenesis is multifunctional, and optimal treatment depends on the cause. We report a case of chemotherapy-induced pneumoretroperitoneum in a 61 year-old female with small cell carcinoma. She had acute abdominal pain and came to the emergency room. She was diagnosed with pneumoretroperitoneum by using plain CT and underwent an operation. Laparotomy didn’t reveal intestinal perforation and PI was considered to be the cause of her symptoms. Her postoperative course was uneventful with immediate improvement of her symptoms and discharged on 7th postoperative day.}, pages = {161--166}, title = {Pneumatosis intestinalis in a patient with neutropenia following chemotherapy}, volume = {33}, year = {2011} }
