Overview
A double contrast barium enema will demonstrate the presence of multiple tiny target like or a pin wheel shape collections of barium, associated with s-shaped filling defects, appearance characteristic of a male worm with a coiled tip.
Other Imaging Findings
Double contrast barium enema
- The characteristic appearance of male T. trichiura on double contrast barium enema is the presence of multiple tiny target like or a pin wheel shape collections of barium, associated with s-shaped filling defects.
- The male adult is has a s-like shape, barium is trapped in the complete loop of "s" appearing as a pin wheel shape like collection. This corresponds to the posterior coiled portion of the worm.
