Rare etiology of colonic intussusception involving an adult with emphysematous cystic enteropathy: A case report and review of literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI), characterized by a collection of gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall, is an uncommon but well-known condition in gastroenterology. Abdominal pain is the most frequent symptom associated with PCI. Intussusception represents a potential cause of recurrent abdominal pain or emergency presentation. However, the occurrence of colonic intussusception secondary to PCI is very unusual in adulthood. CASE SUMMARY: A 52-year-old male, known with idiopathic PCI, presented seventeen months after initial diagnosis with a new right upper quadrant pain. A computed tomography-scan demonstrated a colonic intussusception at the hepatic flexure. PCI did not progress compared with initial investigation. The patient underwent an emergency right hemicolectomy. CONCLUSION: Resection was recommended in this case because PCI proved to be persisting with no identified curable cause. Surgery allowed to address the underlying pathology, the potential relapse of intussusception, and the likely cause of recurrent abdominal pain, either invagination or PCI itself.

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.
