Pneumoretroperitoneum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pneumoretroperitoneum is the presence of air in the retroperitoneum.[1] It is always a pathological condition and can be caused by a perforation of a retroperitoneal hollow organ such as the duodenum, colon or rectum. Pneumoretroperitoneum can best be identified by CT scan.[citation needed]
