Popis: Three cases sharing the following radiologic features are reported: (a) abdominal conventional radiography-vascular calcifications at the right hemicolon, (b) abdominal computed tomography-colonic wall thickening and venous calcifications, and (c) barium enema examination-luminal narrowing of the right hemicolon and thumbprinting. There were no clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of portal hypertension. The disease entity, "phlebosclerotic colitis," should be differentiated from ordinary ischemic colitis.
