OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of @entity17825 according to age, gender, distribution, disease extension and symptoms with CT colonography (CTC). METHODS: The study population included 1091 consecutive @entity1 who underwent CTC. @entity1 with @entity7261 were retrospectively stratified according to age, gender, clinical symptoms and @entity1049 . Extension of @entity17825 was evaluated using a three-point quantitative scale. Using this data, a multivariate regression analysis was applied to investigate the existence of any correlation among variables. RESULTS: @entity17825 were observed in 561 @entity1 (240 @entity1 , mean age 68        12  years). @entity66 ( @entity66 ) was present in 47.4  % of cases. In 25.6  % of @entity1  <=40  years, at least one diverticulum in the colon was observed. Prevalence of right-sided @entity7261 in @entity1 >60  years was 14.2  % in caecum and 18.5  % in ascending colon. No significant difference was found between symptomatic and asymptomatic @entity1 regarding @entity7261 prevalence and extension. No correlation was present between @entity7261 extension and symptoms. CONCLUSION: The incidence of @entity17825 appears to be greater than expected. Right @entity17825 do not appear to be an uncommon finding, with their prevalence increasing with @entity1 age. @entity66 does not seem to be related to @entity7261 distribution and extension. KEY POINTS:     Incidence of @entity17825 appears to be greater than expected.     Right @entity17825 do not appear to be an uncommon finding.     @entity66 does not seem to be related to @entity7261 distribution and extension.
