Barium appendicitis.
Abstract
We report a case of acute appendicitis with perforation associated with retained appendiceal barium. Abnormally retained barium may lead to appendicitis and this should be kept in mind when a barium-filled appendix is seen in an asymptomatic patient. Routine follow-up films on all patients whose appendix fills with barium are not recommended.
