Abstract

The roentgenographic features and pathogenesis of the giant air containing cyst of the sigmoid are described as seen in 5 patients. These cysts are readily diagnosable on the abdominal roentgenogram and barium enema examination and probably represent a slowly progressing chronic diverticular abscess. This complication, when recognized, allows one to more readily diagnose the colonic deformities visualized in the adjacent bowel.
