Objective To summarize experience of multidisciplinary team (MDT) in diagnosis and treatment of rare patient with circumscriptus intrahepatic pneumatosis and explore its clinical differentiation with other common types of intrahepatic pneumatosis.Method The clinicopathologic data of rare patient with circumscriptus intrahepatic pneumatosis admitted to the Occupational Disease Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were retrospectively analyzed.Results A 60-year old female patient was admitted to this hospital with " abdominal pain and septic shock”. After the MDT discussion and analysis, the treatment regimens were decided as follows: the early anti-shock treatment, corrections of electrolyte disorder and hypoalbuminemia, platelet transfusion, ultrasound guided percutaneous catheter drainage (200 mL gas and 10 mL pus, the pneumonic Klebsiella which proved by the bacterial culture). The drainage tube was removed on postoperative day 6. After 5 d of the anti-inflammatory treatment with imipenem and statin sodium injection, it was downgraded to the cefazoxime (the third-generation cephalosporin) injection, and the anti-inflammatory treatment was continued for 6 d as well as the blood glucose was controlled. On the 7th day after the treatment, the right upper abdomen pain was relieved and without positive sign. The abdominal CT showed the localized pneumoconiosis in the right lobe of the liver was completely absorbed. The result of laboratory examination was basically normal. The patient was discharged on the 12th day after the operation and had no discomfort symptoms on month 1 after the operation. The abdominal CT showed the liver was not abnormal.Conclusion Surgeons should be fully aware of various types of intrahepatic pneumatosis so as to sufficiently investigate pathophysiological clue of disease to improve cure rate and reduce complications.
