description Neonatal free air on X-ray images is generally due to intestinal perforation, and requires surgical intervention. However, some cases without intestinal perforation show free air on X-ray images. Pneumoperitoneum without perforation is caused by an air leak syndrome. We present here the case of a low-birth-weight infant with free air on X-ray images, who had no evidence of intestinal perforation intraoperatively.
