Description
Xiao-Ling Song and co-authors report a rare harm that can follow a colon check, in work from 2023. A woman aged forty-seven had a routine scan of her colon, with normal results, though her bowel prep was poor. Soon after, pain grew in her lower belly, and scans showed her appendix blocked by a small stone and inflamed.
She refused surgery, so the team treated her with drugs that fight germs, and she got well. The authors warn that this late form of appendix trouble is rare and easy to mistake for a burn injury or a torn colon. Pain after the check should prompt a fresh look.
