tympanitic

Several loops of bowel involved - black and tympanitic.

I could feel plainly the displacement of the small intestine on the left side and a tense, tympanitic mass which should not have been there.

I pointed to the goat's left side, bulged by the tympanitic rumen, and as I did so, Dorothy began another paroxysm of coughs which seemed almost to tear her apart.

The clenched figures rolled over completely, then again; a fine stool splintered, its prowling leopards bifurcated, and a row of medicine bottles fell from the bedside table with a tympanitic crash.
