I believe there is a GI FB present in the SI; the stomach had a small amount of fluid in it, duodenum was normal. Strongly shadowing object found in loop of SI with surrounding hyperechoic fat. I have recommended surgery, but just want an opinion to confirm my findings – always afraid I am looking at the colon, but this looks like SI to me

I realize I could be possibly missing something on the echo on finding the source of the heart murmur, but could it be a physiologic murmur secondary to the GI FB?
