    Summary

    Undigested vegetable matter can appear as filling defects during barium-enema examinations. Recognizing the unique shape and considering the patient's diet aids in accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Barium-enema examinations are crucial for visualizing the colon.
    • Intact vegetable matter can mimic colonic pathology on imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To illustrate colonic filling defects caused by undigested vegetable matter.
    • To highlight diagnostic clues for differentiating vegetable matter from other lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of barium-enema studies showing colonic filling defects.
    • Correlation of imaging findings with patient dietary history.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstration of characteristic filling defects caused by vegetable matter.
    • Examples of how shape and dietary context aid diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Undigested vegetable matter is a recognizable cause of colonic filling defects.
    • Characteristic morphology and dietary history are key for accurate diagnosis on barium-enema exams.
