    Giant pseudopolyps can develop in Crohn's disease of the colon, potentially causing obstruction. These formations hindered barium flow, with one case leading to acute intestinal obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting any part of the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Pseudopolyps are inflammatory or hyperplastic growths that can mimic true polyps.

    Observation:

    • Two distinct cases of giant pseudopolyps within the colon of patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease are detailed.
    • Barium studies revealed impeded retrograde flow in both instances.

    Findings:

    • The presence of giant pseudopolyps in Crohn's disease was associated with significant obstruction to barium flow.
    • One patient experienced acute intestinal obstruction attributed to these pseudopolyps.

    Implications:
