%X intestinal cystic pneumatosis in most cases is a unexpected radiologic finding suggesting the presence of an alarming pathologic condition, its appearance during the celiac disease course is a infrequent situation in the medical practice, there is a scarce literature supporting it. in present paper the case of a young adult female admitted in gastroenterology service of "hermanos ameijeiras" clinical surgical hospital with a abdominal distention, dyspepsia, vomiting and weight loss underwent to multiple imaging studies (us, thorax x-ray), endoscopy (jejunoscopy plus jejunum biopsy)m as well as celiac disease markers. we conclude that this is a celiac disease in an adult patient associated with intestinal cystic pneumatosis evolving favourably after a specific medical treatment with antibiotic-therapy, oxygen-therapy and diet for the celiac disease.
