Abstract
The typical CT appearance of a duodenal diverticulum is of a rounded air collection with or without fluid or contrast. An unusual case in which gas bubbles mixed with particulate matter mimicked faecal material in the large bowel is presented here. A similar appearance has been described in abnormally dilated small bowel, usually associated with obstruction, and is probably due to stasis of undigested food.
