Pneumoperitoneum as a result of pneumomediastinum has been described already. Amongst the causes pneumoperitoneum due to a complication of adenotonsillectomy, has not previously been described. We describe a five-year-old girl with tension pneumoperitoneum with respiratory and circulatory insufficiency half an hour after adenotonsillectomy. Removal of the intra-abdominal air with a 14 gauge needle restored normal respiration and circulation.
因纵隔气肿导致的气腹此前已有描述。在气腹的病因中，因腺样体扁桃体切除术后并发症导致的气腹此前尚未见报道。我们描述了一名五岁女童，在腺样体扁桃体切除术后半小时出现张力性气腹并伴有呼吸和循环功能不全。用14号针头抽出腹腔内气体后，呼吸和循环恢复正常。
