This report describes the radiological features of a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. Barium meal follow through with pneumocolon, used as a single radiological test, revealed diffuse polyposis involving the stomach and both the small and large intestines, as well as findings of gastric rugal thickening, whiskering, crypts and ulcerated polyps.

A 2.5 year old girl with metachromatic leukodystrophy presented with acute respiratory distress and was initially wrongly diagnosed with pneumothorax. Barium meal showed bowel loops in the left hemithorax, which prompted surgical intervention; spontaneous rupture of the diaphragm was diagnosed at surgery.

We report a 55-year-old man presenting with postprandial epigastric pain and vomiting. Barium meal study suggested two openings from the stomach to the duodenum. Endoscopy revealed double pylorus with chronic duodenal ulcer, suggesting the second opening as an acquired one.

Achalasia cardia is a motility disorder, involving the distal esophagus, resulting in elevated lower esophageal sphincter pressure, increased intraesophageal pressure, incomplete relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter in response to deglutition and loss of esophageal peristalsis. It usually presents between third and fifth decades of life with the most common symptom of dysphagia. We present ...
