Abstract

An unusual case of colonic mucosal bridges in a patient with ulcerative colitis was demonstrated by double-contrast barium enema and confirmed at colonoscopy. We believe this to be the first report of this entity in the radiologic literature. The probable etiology of this uncommon manifestation of chronic inflammatory bowel disease is discussed.
