Abstract
The barium appearance of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum has been c lassically described as a ''windsock'' appearance. However, the CT-sca n appearance of this abnormality has not been well documented. A case report of a patient with intraluminal duodenal diverticulum is present ed. The authors believe the CT-scan findings in the patient are virtua lly pathognomonic for this lesion and propose the term ''halo'' sign b e applied to this previously undescribed finding.
