Fig. 1 Case 1 C. difficile pancolitis. The wall of the large bowel is grossly thickened with florid mucosal enhancement, low attenuation sub-mucosal oedema and mesenteric injection. The white arrows show the oedematous large bowel with i.v. contrast demarcating the ‘accordion sign,’ due to oedematous infolded mucosa. The white arrowhead shows air trapped between the infolded mucosa. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2008 7, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2008 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions
