Abstract

An appendiceal lesion at computed  tomographic colonography (CTC)  could be a range of conditions which presents a  diagnostic  dilemma. The  importance of  careful scrutiny of 3D fly-through as  well as 3D and  2D images is  essential to  exclude other possible appendiceal pathologies. A  partial and a  complete  inversion of the appendix at CTC are  described.
