Abstract: | The colographic appearance of intussusception is variously described as a claw sign, pincer defect, shouldering effect, and
coiled-spring pattern. This report adds a new radiographic sign to the list. An end-on view of an intussusception on barium
enema shows a ring of contrast resembling a solar eclipse. Familiarity with this bizarre appearance is desirable, lest it
may be mistaken for spillage of barium due to a colonic perforation.
