The small intestine is mildly gas filled in some regions however appears normal in diameter. The colon contains some fecal material. The kidneys and urinary bladder are normal.
Gastric foreign material.
Case Discussion
A gastric foreign body (trichobezoar) was removed via gastrotomy. Although the presentation was acute, the size of the stomach and nature of the foreign material likely indicate a chronic accumulation of hair and other material.
