A medical condition involving the abnormal dilation or enlargement of air-filled spaces in the intestines.
From Greek 'aer-' (air), 'enteron' (intestine), and 'ektasis' (dilation/expansion). It's a rare medical term combining three Greek roots.
This is one of those tongue-twisting medical terms that sounds scary, but it's essentially just gas-related bloating—though the fancy name helps doctors communicate precisely about a specific type of intestinal distension!
