Ram horn sign

The Ram's horn sign, also known as the Shofar sign, is the tubular, conical appearance of the stomach antrum seen on a barium meal. The stomach is less distensible and the curved conical appearance resembles the horn of a ram.

This is seen in granulomatous disease, typically Crohn disease, but also in tuberculosis, syphilis and sarcoidosis ³. A scirrhous carcinoma may shows a similar appearance on the barium study ².
