Abstract:
Barium enema examinations of 7,200 patients were analyzed to determine the presence of rectal diverticula. Five patients with rectal diverticula, a prevalence of 0.07%, were found. Their diameters varied from 10 to 80 mm. Each of the patients had a single rectal diverticulum. Two patients had scleroderma with no other diverticula in the large bowel. None of our patients had symptoms referable to the rectal diverticula.
