Air trapped within the tampon (sanitary wear for females).
It is trapped within the cotton composition of the tampon, which is present here as an incidental finding.
Case Discussion
Lots of incidental findings may be apparent on radiographs.
Recognition is important so one knows their lack of or clinical relevance to the clinical scenario.
