The impression of the inflated balloon on the rectal wall is nicely appreciated (white arrows). A flat luminal defect is detected at the level of the anal margin, abutting the rectal catheter (white arrowhead). b, c The corresponding prone view after deflation of the balloon of the rectal catheter shows a large sessile polypoid defect (white arrowhead) against the rectal catheter (black arrow) confirmed on 2D as a solid lesion >10 mm, prompting optical colonoscopy
