A) Abdominal plain film. A 2.4 x 1.2 cm oblong radiodensity with 2 central areas of lucency projects right of midline over the sacral apex. B) CT abdomen/pelvis without contrast, coronal reformat. A 2.4 cm hyper-density is visualized within the distal ileum. C) CT abdomen/pelvis without contrast, axial slice. A 2.4 cm hyper-density is visualized within the distal ileum. Stool filled distended thickened terminal ileum and contracted/thickened right colon with adjacent stranding. The hyper-density is seen just proximal to this stool-filled dilated terminal ileum. Small amount of pelvic free fluid (arrow). D) CT abdomen/pelvis without contrast, sagittal reformat. A 2.4 cm hyper-density is visualized within the distal ileum. Thickened ileocecal junction and contracted/thickened right colon with adjacent stranding. The ingested foreign body is seen just proximal to this stool-filled dilated terminal ileum.
