Two Cases of Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis With Intraperitoneal Free Air
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intraperitoneal free air (IFA) is sometimes accompanied by pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI); therefore, proper diagnosis is essential for PCI management. We report two cases of PCI with IFA. A 70-year-old female taking anti-psychotic medication for schizophrenia presented with repeated vomiting and high-grade fever. Computed tomography revealed small, linear gaseous cysts in the intestinal wall along with IFA. Although there was no sign of peritoneal irritation, intestinal perforation was not excluded. Thus, exploratory laparotomy was performed; it revealed no ascites or perforated sites in the intestine, and revealed numerous small air bubbles in the intestinal wall and mesentery. Thus, a diagnosis of PCI was made, and ileostomy was performed to relieve intestinal pressure. The postoperative course was uneventful. A 79-year-old male with pulmonary emphysema presented with dyspnea due to abdominal distention. Cyanosis was evident, and arterial blood gas analysis revealed metabolic acidosis. CT revealed massive IFA along with multiple, small bubbly cysts under the intestinal serosa. He was intubated because of worsening respiratory conditions, and a 12-French drain was inserted to relieve the intraperitoneal pressure. There was no evidence of peritonitis, and IFA was conservatively observed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
