Abstract
Barium is used with great frequency for various gastrointestinal radiographic studies. Complications arising from the use of barium are uncommon and can range from peritonitis, pneumonitis, vascular intravasation, allergic reactions, and even “barium appendicitis.” We report a case of an unusual complication, periostitis, from the use of barium in a 46-year-old male.
