Barium appendicitis is a very rare complication of barium meals and barium enema. We report a case of acute appendicitis associated with retained appendiceal barium. A 47-year-old man presented with right lower abdominal pain after upper gastrointestinal imaging was performed using barium 1\u00a0month earlier. The abdominal plain roentgenogram showed an area of retained barium in the right lower quadrant. Multiplanar reconstruction of computed tomography scans showed barium retention in the appendix. Emergency appendectomy was performed. A cross section of the specimen revealed the barium mass. Barium-associated appendicitis is a very rare clinical entity but we should be cautious of this uncommon disease when we encounter barium deposits in the appendix after barium examination. This report is significant because barium was identified both macroscopically and microscopically.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/cc160.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,8]],"date-time":"2013-01-08T21:26:51Z","timestamp":1357680411000},"page":"296-298","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Barium Appendicitis 1\u00a0Month After a Barium Meal"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Masaaki","family":"Urade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Nanto Municipal Hospital, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshihumi","family":"Shinbo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Nanto Municipal Hospital, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"3:1","key":"i0020-8868-97-4-296-Gubler1","series-title":"J Int Col Surg","first-page":"379","article-title":"Barium appendicitis","volume":"21","author":"Gubler\n JA ,","year":"1954","unstructured":"Gubler\n JA , \n \n Kukral\n AJ . \n \n Barium appendicitis .
