X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE ABDOMEN, COMPLETE

X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE ABDOMEN, COMPLETE

FINDINGS:             There is no free air.  There is no evidence of bowel obstruction.  The presence of fecal material in the rectum is noted and there is some colonic distention raising the possibility of fecal impaction.  No definite abnormal calcific density suggesting a calculus is noted.  Rest of the examination appeared to be unremarkable.

IMPRESSION:        No evidence of bowel obstruction.  Presence of fecal material in the rectum associated with some distention of the colon raising the possibility of fecal impaction.  Clinical correlation is suggested.  Underlying Hirschsprung's disease cannot be completely excluded.  Clinical correlation and further evaluation is suggested.

Thank you for the referral.
