Abstract EN
Radiologic diagnosis of colorectal foreign bodies is usually not very difficult, because inserted materials are often clearly visible on plain abdominal radiographs.
However, when they are radiolucent, a plain abdominal radiograph has been reported to be useless.
As radiolucent colorectal foreign bodies appear as radiolucent artificial contours or air-trapped materials in the pelvis, almost always the diagnosis itself can be made by careful evaluation of plain abdominal radiographs.
We encountered a case of casting type of radiolucent colorectal foreign body formed from polyurethane foam.
It presented us with unexpected radiologic findings and led to diagnostic difficulties.
