<unk>  (also called intestinal<unk> ,<unk>  cystoides<unk> ,<unk>  coli, or intramural bowel gas) is<unk>  of an intestine, that is, gas cysts in the bowel wall. As a radiological sign it is highly suggestive for necrotizing enterocolitis. This is in contrast to gas in the intestinal lumen (which is relieved by flatulence). In newborns,<unk>  is considered diagnostic for necrotizing enterocolitis, and the gas is produced by bacteria in the bowel wall. The pathogenesis of<unk>  is poorly understood and is likely multifactorial.<unk>  itself is not a disease, but rather a clinical sign. In some cases,<unk>  is an incidental finding, whereas in others, it portends a life-threatening intra-abdominal condition.
