  • Title: Pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium following dental extraction.
    Author: Sandler CM, Libshitz HI, Marks G.
    Journal: Radiology; 1975 Jun; 115(3):539-40. PubMed ID: 1129460.
    Abstract:
    Pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium and subcutaneous emphysema developed in a patient following simple dental extraction. Other causes of this unusual complication, such as pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, insufflation of fallopian tubes, pulmonary-peritoneal fistula, post-partum knee-chest exercises, laparotomy, paracentesis and peritoneal dialysis should be considered when peritoneal signs are absent so that unnecessary laparotomy can be avoided.
