Three cases of 'idiopathic pneumoperitoneum' following injury are reviewed. Two cases occurred several days after initial injury and were associated with post-traumatic pneumothorax and artificial respiration. It is likely that artificial respiration induced pneumoperitoneum in these cases. The third case of pneumoperitoneum occurred one hour after initial injury and was associated with bilateral pneumothoraces and pneumopericardium. Congenital abnormalities and tension pneumothorax were thought to account for this case of 'idiopathic pneumoperitoneum'.
本文回顾了3例受伤后出现的“特发性气腹”病例。其中2例在初次受伤几天后发生，与创伤后气胸及人工呼吸有关。在这些病例中，很可能是人工呼吸诱发了气腹。第3例气腹发生在初次受伤后1小时，与双侧气胸及心包积气有关。先天性异常和张力性气胸被认为是导致该例“特发性气腹”的原因。
