| Popis: | A 71-year-old woman with Parkinson’s disease underwent elective percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy due to levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel treatment. Less than one week after the procedure, the patient developed abdominal distension. X-ray and computed tomography revealed massive pneumoperitoneum. An external binder was dislocated above the abdominal wall. After replacing the binder and fixating it onto the skin, imaging showed no regression of free air. Drainage was performed using a Redon drain, and a gush of free air and ascites leaked out of the abdominal wall. Ventilatory air leakage beside the gastric tube caused permanent massive pneumoperitoneum. After the removal of the PEG tube, the patient fully recovered. In this article, we present a late complication of pneumoperitoneum with air leakage from the abdominal wall stoma. This complication is rarer than air leakage from the visceral wall stoma. |
