In most instances, patients with an acute abdomen and pneumoperitoneum have a perforated hollow viscus as the underlying cause. Clinicians must not forget, however, some of the less common causes of free air in the abdomen. We describe pneumoperitoneum from a vaginoperitoneal fistula, developing after hysterectomy, well known to gynecologists, but rarely noted in the medical literature.
在大多数情况下，患有急腹症和气腹的患者其潜在病因是中空脏器穿孔。然而，临床医生绝不能忽视腹部游离气体的一些较不常见的病因。我们描述了一例子宫切除术后发生的阴道腹膜瘘导致的气腹，这在妇科医生中是众所周知的，但在医学文献中很少被提及。
