ABSTRACT
The case of a 30-year-old woman who suffered a pneumoretroperitoneum due to blunt abdominal trauma is reported. The characteristic roentgen signs showing the source of the retroperitoneal air trappings are discussed. Exact analysis of simple abdominal plain films allows early diagnosis of an often life-threatening disease without expensive additional examinations.
