A 77-year-old man who had been taking Chinese herbal drugs containing gardenia fruit for a long time visited our hospital following a positive fecal occult blood test. A computed tomography scan showed multiple linear calcifications distributed on the right-side mesenteric veins, which is a typical finding of idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis (IMP).

Background: Portal venous system aneurysms (PVAs) are increasingly diagnosed on cross-sectional computed tomography imaging. However, the natural history of these aneurysms is poorly understood, and reports are limited to small case series.
Methods: Terms relevant to PVAs were searched in radiology reports (2010-2022), with PVA presence confirmed by manual review.

In children, 90% cases of intussusception are idiopathic and the remaining 10% are attributed to underlying diseases (most commonly due to Meckel's diverticulum, polyps then either duplication cyst or mesentery cysts, and rarely due to Burkitt's lymphoma). The occurrence of acute intestinal intussusception caused by Burkitt's lymphoma in children under the age of 5 is exceedingly rare. Burkitt's lymphoma presents with diverse clinical manifestations, often leading to the identification of an abdominal tumor in pediatric patients.

Article Synopsis
- Intussusception, a bowel obstruction in kids, can sometimes result from serious conditions like Burkitt's lymphoma, as illustrated in a case involving a 14-year-old boy who underwent surgery for ileocolic intussusception.
- The patient initially experienced abdominal pain, and imaging revealed a mass in the intestine leading to surgical intervention, which confirmed the presence of Burkitt's lymphoma.
- It's important for doctors to consider underlying diseases like Burkitt's lymphoma in pediatric intussusception cases that don’t respond to standard treatments, as prompt surgical action greatly enhances survival chances.
Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins (IMHMV) is a rare entity reported in adults, frequently mimicking inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We report the first case of intestinal ischemia secondary to IMHMV presenting as IBD in a pediatric patient with Down syndrome. Chronic intestinal ischemia is rare in children, and this case emphasizes the need to consider this in the differential, when histopathology is suggestive.
