Primary objective: To report a case of pneumatosis intestinalis complicated with sorbitol containing medicines.
Research design: Case report.
Methods and procedures: Clinical course and literature review.
Experimental interventions: Chart review.
Main outcomes and results: Large amount of sorbital may cause a reversible gastrointestinal complication, pneumatosis intestinalis.
Conclusions: In the assessment of enteral abnormalities, all components of medications, active and 'inactive', must be evaluated as possible aetiological factors of pneumatosis intestinalis.
