MDCT Multiplanar reformation (MPR). Axial (A, B), coronal (C), sagittal (D) show typical findings of a sigmoid colon diverticulitis complicated by a wall perforation with the evidence of an extraperitoneal gaseous fluid collection containing a linear hyperdense object (approximately 20 x 5 mm axial diameters) to refer to a foreign body.

Multiplanar and Volume Rendering reconstructions allowed the evidence of a small sharply object (approximately 20 x 5 mm axial diameters) that the patient was unaware to have ingested (Fig. 1 A-D).
(A, B) Surgery images confirm the sigmoid perforation and the ingested object found in the extraluminal inhomogeneous collection was a date nut tip.
