Symptomatic Pneumoperitoneum After Percutaneous Radiological Gastrostomy in Patient With Duchenne Disease Dependent on Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Open Respiratory Archives
Pneumoperitoneum secondary to gastrostomy is a rare, usually benign complication, often due to air insufflation. It can occur after both endoscopic and radiological techniques, though less frequently with the latter. Percutaneous radiological gastrostomy
