  • Title: Ruptured splenic abscess presenting as pneumoperitoneum.
    Author: Rege SA, Philip U, Quentin N, Deolekar S, Rohandia O.
    Journal: Indian J Gastroenterol; 2001; 20(6):246-7. PubMed ID: 11817784.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum follows perforation of hollow viscus; rarely, it may arise from pulmonary interstitial emphysema or intestinal inflammatory disease. We report a 30-year-old man with ruptured splenic abscess who presented with acute abdomen and had pneumoperitoneum. He was treated with splenectomy and is asymptomatic 2 months later.
