Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1981
The radiographic evidence of free air in the abdomen is usually associated with gastrointestinal perforations which represent a surgical emergency. However, pneumoperitoneum may also develop in a variety of benign conditions and following diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Das Aspirations-Pneumoperitoneum
Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde, 1995To date the pneumoperitoneum has been passively created by instrumentally monitored introduction of a gas, such as carbon dioxide gas. The abdominal cavity expander ACE developed already in 1991 produces an active pneumoperitoneum by suctioning air into the abdominal cavity; this is achieved by a modified and automated form of the ACE.

We report a case of a patient with a non-surgical pneumoperitoneum, successfully managed with conservative treatment. The abdominal CT showed a pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, which can be exceptionally associated with pneumoperitoneum.
