Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 67273
  • Study ID: 76636
  • Image ID: 47897041
  • Plane projection: Coronal
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: AP and lateral abdominal radiographs showing a contained region of numerous small figure 8 shaped calcific bodies within the right side of the abdomen. Upon detailed examination, these appear arachnid in morphology. A dense, gravity-dependent layer is noted, likely representing liquification of some of the calcific bodies.
  • Study findings: In the right side of the abdomen, there is high-density material pooling within a lumen which contains numerous small calcified bodies which are arachnid in morphology. This region appears to represent a duodenal diverticulum. Medial to this is a gas-filled structure containing solid material and additional calcified bodies measuring 3.7 cm. This is not continuous with bowel and is suspicious for a contained perforation. Marked surrounding fat stranding. No lymphadenopathy. No free intra-abdominal or pelvic fluid.
