| Resumen |
Primary pneumatosis cystoides coli (PCC) is a relatively rare disease of unknown origin in which gas-filled cysts form in the large intestine. Two cases of primary PCC, each of which was associated with occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), are reported. In each case spontaneous healing of PCC was observed after discontinuation of exposure to TCE. In one case, TCE was detected in the gas endoscopically collected from the cystic spaces and from venous blood, and its metabolites were detected in the patients' urine. The disappearance of TCE from the cystic spaces and venous blood was followed by the endoscopic healing of the lesion. These cases suggest that occupational exposure to TCE could be one of the aetiological factors of PCC. |
