“…The population that lives above 3,000 meters of altitude tends to have a colon of greater length and diameter than inhabitants who live at lower altitudes; this acquired characteristic is called Andean Dolicomegacolon. It is believed that an important factor in its development is the lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, and according to the physical law of Boyle and Mariotte, the expansion of intraluminal gases could influence the increase in intestinal dimensions [7][8][9].…”

“…It is believed that an important factor in its development is the lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, and according to the physical law of Boyle and Mariotte, the expansion of intraluminal gases could influence the increase in intestinal dimensions. [7][8][9] The diagnosis is clinical, coupled with a high index of suspicion. Among the complementary examinations, a simple abdominal x-ray in the standing and supine position has a diagnostic certainty of close to 90% in cases and presents characteristic signs such as the coffee bean sign.…”
