Dr. Charles Report
Findings
Abdominal serosal detail is within normal limits. Moderate dilation of the colon, especially the descending portion, is present. The colon contains a large quantity of dehydrated, heterogenous mineral opaque fecal material. The small intestines are uniformly gas and fluid filled with no evidence of abnormal dilation. There is a transitional 7th lumbar vertebral body and narrowing of the S3-Cd1 intervertebral disc space. No abnormalities of the pelvis are identified. The remainder of the study, including extra-abdominal structures, is unremarkable.
Conclusion
Moderately dilated colon containing a large amount of dehydrated fecal material is most consistent with obstipation. Transitional lumbar vertebra as described.
Next Steps
Fluid therapy and/or enema could be considered.
