      Abstract

      Giant pseudopolyp formation is an uncommon but well-recognized complication of Crohn's disease. The computed tomography manifestations are described for the first time. Correlation with air-contrast barium enema, as well as colonoscopy, is presented. Computed tomography can be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis as well as management of this disease entity.
