Dolichocolon is present, and the sigmoid colon is redundant. Multiple small outpouchings are seen at the sigmoid colon consistent with diverticulosis.
No pathologic stricture and no mass are observed at the colon.
Case Discussion
Both single and double contrast barium enemas can demonstrate diverticula as barium-filled outpouchings. Notice that when diverticula see 'en face,' they can look similar to polyps.
