Appearance of a type B duplex appendix on barium enema.
Anomalies of the appendix are rare and are usually found in the adult population as an incidental finding during the course of surgery. We describe the appearances of a Type B duplicated appendix demonstrated on a barium enema for the first time. A review of the literature is presented with a discussion of different forms of duplicated appendices and the clinical significance of this finding.
