Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 61802
  • Study ID: 69916
  • Image ID: 41047996
  • Plane projection: Coronal
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: Single inflamed diverticulum projecting from the leftward aspect of the appendix, which abuts the sigmoid colon. Appendiceal submucosal edema/thickening measuring up to 12 mm. Appendix contains a small amount of oral contrast and air. Inflammation appears centered on the diverticulum, not the appendix, which can best be appreciated on the coronal reformatted images. No periappendiceal fluid collections. Mild reactive thickening of the right ureter. Multiple cecal diverticula.
  • Study findings: CT performed one week later shows anatomic separation of the sigmoid colon and appendix. Improved thickening/submucosal edema of the appendix and decreased inflammation surrounding the appendiceal diverticulum. Currently there is a small amount of residual stranding and fluid near the appendiceal tip, without organized fluid collection or free intraperitoneal air. No other acute findings.
