1. Gastric outlet obstruction: This condition occurs when there is a blockage at the point where the stomach empties into the small intestine. The presence of fluid and gas in the stomach can lead to a sloshing or splashing sound when the abdomen is palpated.
2. Gastrointestinal perforation: This is a serious condition in which there is a hole or tear in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The presence of free air and fluid in the abdominal cavity can result in a succussion splash when the abdomen is shaken or tapped.
