We report a case of idiopathic pneumoperitoenum in a 75-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department with vague left-sided abdominal pain. There was no history of recent trauma. Exploratory laparotomy was negative. He made an uneventful post-operative recovery and was discharged home 6 days after the exploratory laparotomy.

Pneumoperitoneum (PP) in artificially ventilated patients is usually caused by barotrauma to the lungs or by perforation of an intra-abdominal viscus. The differential diagnosis is sometimes difficult but important, as unnecessary laparotomy could result if the PP is due to pulmonary barotrauma.

Pneumoperitoneum as a diagnostic procedure has been practised for many years but there is a reluctance to make use of it. The author believes that this is due in some degree to lack of clearly defined indications and partly to lack of confidence in the safety of the procedure.
