Pseudomembranous Colitis (11 of 11)
Case description
CT findings include marked low attenuation wall thickening,
which can be circumferential or eccentric. In one series the
average wall thickness was 14.7mm, significantly greater
than wall thickening seen in other inflammatory conditions.
Haustral folds are thickened and can appear as broad
transverse bands, referred to as "accordion pattern. The
colon wall may enhance secondary to the hyperemia.
Classically PMC is a pancolitis although there are reports
of PMC sparing the rectum. Ascites can occasionally be
present.
