Abstract
Barium concretions are a rare complication of barium administration resulting from prolonged retention of the barium within the bowel. Indium-111 white blood cell localization studies are a sensitive and specific indicator of inflammation. Indium-111 white blood cell localization was noted in the area of a barium concretion in a patient with a prolonged hospital course. Local segmental inflammatory changes within the bowel associated with the barium concretion would explain the white cell localization.
