“…The fact that no contrast medium passed the Stoma indicates a complete obstruction a t this level (6). Further, a defect in the intragastric contrast material may suggest an intussusception of the efferent loop andlor the afferent loop into the gastric remnant (7), especially as in the present case, where the adjacent efferent loop had a spiral configuration at CT.…”

“…AALS may also result in a n elevation of the serum amylase. The radiographic findings o n abdominal survey films in a patient with AALS will most commonly show a n abdomen void of intestinal gas and sometimes a tumour-like mass in the upper abdomen (6). Prior t o the advent of CT the diagnosis could be radiologically suspected if such signs of a high ileus were found.…”

“…3): Pneumoperitoneum may occur when there is a perforation of the appendiceal-cecal junc tion not sufficiently walled ofTby omentum [4], However, pneumoperitoneum secondary to acute appendicitis is considered rare. It was seen in only 1 of the 154 cases included in this study and was not found in a series of more than 2,000 cases reviewed by Frimann-Dahl [11], In a group of 648 appendectomies reviewed by McCort [12], 103 showed evidence of perforation but free air was seen on abdominal X ray in only 6. Steinert [13] de scribed a single case of an air collection lateral to the cecum due to perforation from a series of 98 patients.…”

Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis: How Useful Is the Abdominal X Ray?

A retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the current-day role of the plain abdominal radiograph in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Although there was good correlation between the number of positive abdominal X rays and patients found to have more severe changes such as gangrene or perforation, a significant number of individuals with less severe inflammatory changes of the appendix had normal X rays. Some patients subsequently found to have a normal appendix at surgery had positive findings on abdominal X ray. It appears that the abdominal X ray is not sufficiently sensitive or specific in helping to diagnose acute appendicitis in its earlier stages and in most cases can probably be eliminated from the work-up.Patients were placed into one of the following four groups according to the severity of the inflammatory process subsequently found at surgery and pathology: (1) normal appendix, (2) pathological changes of acute appendicitis, (3) findings consistent with acute appendicitis as well as inflammatory changes in the peri-appendiceal tissues and (4) severe involvement consisting of gangrenous changes in the appendix with or without perforation (table I). Abdominal X rays were analyzed for the presence of abnormal findings listed in table II.

“…The term pneumoperitoneum is used to describe the presence of free gas in the peritoneal cavity. In most patients, pneumoperitoneum is considered as evidence of an abdominal catastrophe and is usually accompanied by signs of peritoneal irritation or peritonitis (6). In such cases immediate surgical intervention is mandatory.…”

Pneumoperitoneum Without Clinical Peritonitis Due to Bilateral Pyosalpinx

A case of pneumoperitoneum without clinical peritonitis due to bilateral pyosalpinx is presented. This clinical condition has in the literature been called "spontaneous or idiopathic pneumoperitoneum", and conservative treatment in such cases has been advocated. As shown in our case severe intraperitoneal pathology may exist, and we therefore advocate early explorative laparotomy in all patients with pneumoperitoneum without peritonitis.
