• Pneumoperitoneum

  Abdominal computed tomography scan showed extensive pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, and leftsided pneumothorax. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Chest X-ray showed a pneumoperitoneum, which was an indication for emergency surgery. The patient had a laparotomy approach five hours after perforation. The peritoneal cavity was clean. [ghrnet.org]

  On the other hand, this patient underwent same-day colonoscopy before CTC, and thus it is not possible to exclude the possibility that pneumoperitoneum might have occurred at colonoscopy. [karger.com]
