| Popis: | The first case of duodenal perforation during gastroscopy is reported. The patient's symptoms were mild in contrast to the dramatic picture of perforated peptic ulcer. He developed a pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, and, in addition, subcutaneous emphysema of the neck—signs more commonly associated with oesophageal rupture than perforation of the duodenum. The aetiology of these signs and the prevention of this complication are discussed. |
