“…The emergence of gas into the bowel wall, with or without free gas in the peritoneal cavity, is defined as PCI 1–3 . Intestinal involvement in SSc, 1–9 dermatomyositis (DM) or PM, 10–17 and mixed CTD 18–25 may be complicated by PCI. The appearance of PCI in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 26 relapsing polychondritis 27 and primary Sjogren's syndrome 28 has been reported.…”

“…Mucosal infection or injury may easily cause penetration of intraluminal air into the intestinal wall, leading to the development of PCI. Highdose corticosteroid and its long-term use have been reported as an essentially harmful factor causing PCI in SLE [16,19,21,22,24,25], as well as other autoimmune disorders, such as inflammatory myopathy [28,29]. Voglibose, an aGI, reduces the absorption speed of carbohydrates from the intestine, and acts as an anti-diabetic drug.…”

“…PCI is characterized by the development of multiple submucosal or subserosal pneumatocysts in the submucosa or subserosa of the colon [3-5]. An abdominal X-ray and CT demonstrated pneumoperitoneum with massive air accumulation in the intestinal wall, particularly in the colon, leading to the diagnosis of PCI [6].…”
