La presencia de neumoperitoneo espontáneo es un hallazgo común en pacientes con enfermedad abdominal. En el 90% de las ocasiones es consecuencia de una perforación de víscera hueca1. La rotura de un absceso hepático piógeno es una complicación infrecuente que acontece entre el 5 y el 15% de los casos, y es una causa extremadamente rara de neumoperitoneo. Existen muy pocos casos descritos en la literatura médica al respecto.Debido a su elevado interés clínico, presentamos el caso de una paciente con neumoperitoneo espontáneo secundario a la rotura de un absceso hepático piógeno(AU)
Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum is a common finding in patients with abdominal disorders. In 90% of cases, this entity results from hollow viscera perforation. Rupture of a pyogenic liver abscess is an infrequent complication occurring in 5 to 15% of cases. Pneumoperitoneum secondary to intraperitoneal rupture of an abscess is extremely rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Given its clinical interest, we report a case of pneumoperitoneum due to spontaneous rupture of a gas-containing pyogenic liver abscess (AU)
