  • Title: Unusual case of extraperitoneal gas in the abdomen.
    Author: Quadrelli S, Lloyd T, Medoro L, Coucher J.
    Journal: J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol; 2019 Feb; 63(1):79-81. PubMed ID: 30353980.
    Abstract:
    The retroperitoneal space is made up of multiple communicating compartments. Here we detail an unusual case of ectopic gas almost exclusively isolated to the properitoneal space, a space in communication with the retroperitoneum. This case is a reminder that when extraperitoneal gas is identified, the retroperitoneal structures should be interrogated carefully to identify a cause.
