description Pneumoperitoneum, in the majority of cases, is caused by a perforation of the gastrointestinal tract whose treatment is usually surgical. It rarely occurs spontaneously. This study reports an unusual presentation of pneumoperitoneum which has put the surgeon in a massive diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We report the case of a 77-year old patient with spontaneous pneumoperitoneum evolving during non-operative treatment. We here discuss the management procedure for this uncommon disease.
