Fecaloma/impacted fecal matter

Updates to Study Attributes
The rectum and distal sigmoid colon are distended by the injected Bariumbarium with a proximal sigmoid colon (mostly intraluminal) mass with a rounded edge obstructing obstructing the flow of Bariumbarium to descending colon. The mass wasn't dislodged by changing the patient'sto a decubitus position or after rotating the patient patient.
Updates to Study Attributes
The sigmoid mass observed on the Bariumbarium study is seen in the CT study to be an intraluminal globular mass with a finely corregated surface and internal low density (fat) foci. The proximal bowel is collapsed with no evidence of intestinal obstruction.
Updates to Study Attributes
The previously seen intraluminal sigmoid mass mass is still seen in today's study with the barium reaching the proximal sigmoid colon, confirming the non-obstructing nature of the lesion.
