Intensive Care Medicine, 1989
A 26-year-old woman developed the adult respiratory distress syndrome after a post-partum haemorrhage. After mechanical ventilation was started the signs of a tense and distended acute abdomen developed. The aspiration and subsequent analysis of copious intra-peritoneal gas confirmed the diagnosis of a tension pneumoperitoneum secondary to pulmonary ...

Pneumoperitoneum and appendicitis
Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1976Pneumoperitoneum was observed in five patients with acute perforative appendicitis (APA). In each case this radiographic observation led to an incorrect diagnosis. Free intraperitoneal gas is found in a small number of patients with APA and has no apparent effect on the course or prognosis of the disease.

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.

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1979
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.

Free intraperitoneal air is not necessarily caused by a perforated viscus. The present study reviews the causes of pneumoperitoneum that do not necessitate laparotomy, and emphasizes the importance of obtaining a complete clinical history.

Critical Care Medicine, 1982
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.

Spectrum of Signs of Pneumoperitoneum
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2016Pneumoperitoneum is caused by rupture of a hollow viscus that includes the stomach, small bowel, and large bowel, with the exception of those portions that are retroperitoneal in the duodenum and colon. The causes of pneumoperitoneum are numerous, ranging from iatrogenic and benign causes to more life-threatening conditions.
