Pneumatosis intestinalis is a rare complication of collagen vascular disease. The current case is the third reported occurrence of pneumatosis in dermatomyositis (Mueller et al., 1972, Oliveros et al., 1973), and the first in which this finding was not preceded by steroid therapy. Unlike its appearance in scleroderma, pneumatosis in dermatomyositis seems to be associated with a benign course, but it must be distinguished from a perforated viscus. A twelve-year-old black female was admitted to the University of Michigan Hospital for evaluation of dermatomyositis diagnosed on muscle biopsy three years previously. She complained of difficulty swallowing but had no abdominal pain or other symptoms referable to the gastrointestinal tract. She had never been treated with systemic steroids.
