CT appearance of focal pseudomembranous colitis

Abstract

Previous reports of the CT findings of pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) have demonstrated the diffuse form of the disease. Although the focal nature of PMC is well recognized in the gastrointestinal literature, this manifestation has not been stressed in CT reports. We present three cases of focal colonic thickening detected on CT that proved to be PMC.
