Thediverticula themselves not being visible, per-haps obliterated by the connective-tissue for-mation, are already so filled with mucus andfecal material that the barium is unable toenter. There are other complications secondaryto diverticuHtis besides simple arising from the localized diver-ticulitis may involve other coils of intestinesor other organs. Such a condition is best ob-served under the fluoroscopic screen. Chronic perforation with abscess forma-tion is not an uncommon sequel. The .r-ray. Fig. 27. Chronic Obstruction from Diverticulitis.
