Findings

The abdomen is distended because of the gravid uterus. There are 5 well-mineralized feti consistent with the age of gestation. On the ventrodorsal projection, there is a small, collapsed, partially mineralized fetus just cranial to the left ilium. No gas is visualized in the uterus. The remainder of the abdominal organs appear normal.
