Experimental work has been directed toward proving or disproving the concept that pneumatosis intestinalis in a significant number of cases might occur as a result of air in the lung becoming interstitial from alveolar rupture, subsequently passing to the mediastinum and thence to the retroperitoneal area, and then dissecting along the vascular supply of the viscera.
