Abstract

Le pneumopéritoine résulte, dans la majorité des cas, d'une perforation du tractus gastro-intestinal dont le traitement est habituellement chirurgical. Son caractère spontané est rare, avec dans ce cas, une présentation inhabituelle qui met le chirurgien devant un dilemme diagnostic et thérapeutique. Nous rapportons un cas de pneumopéritoine spontané chez un sujet de 77 ans ayant bien évolué sous traitement non opératoire. Nous discutons des modalités de prise en charge de cette entité peu commune.

Alternate abstract:

Pneumoperitoneum, in the majority of cases, is caused by a perforation of the gastrointestinal tract whose treatment is usually surgical. It rarely occurs spontaneously. This study reports an unusual presentation of pneumoperitoneum which has put the surgeon in a massive diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We report the case of a 77-year old patient with spontaneous pneumoperitoneum evolving during non-operative treatment. We here discuss the management procedure for this uncommon disease.
