TL;DR
A rare case of intestinal gas cysts was found in a dialysis patient with a kidney disease during an autopsy.
Contribution
Highlights a potential link between intestinal pneumatosis and structural fragility in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Findings
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis was detected post-mortem in a patient with end-stage renal failure.
Pathological analysis suggests a possible association between intestinal gas cysts and polycystic kidney disease.
The case emphasizes the need for awareness of rare gastrointestinal complications in dialysis patients.
Abstract
This report describes a rare case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in a dialysis patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, detected at autopsy. Pathological findings suggest a potential link between intestinal gas cyst formation and the structural fragility associated with polycystic kidney disease.
