title: Floating faeces in steatorrhoea--a new sign.
abstract: We describe a new sign of floating faeces in steatorrhoea. The fatty stool of steatorrhoea defies the usual colon cleansing operations and fatty particulate faecal matter, floating in a layer on the denser barium on the horizontal beam films of the double contrast enema, gives a pathognomic appearance.
