Recurrent pneumoperitoneum with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in tuberculous pleurisy: Case report

Pneumoperitoneum secondary to PCI is often benign, may not require surgical intervention, and can recur. Tuberculous pleurisy may contribute to PCI with pneumoperitoneum via altered thoracoabdominal pressures. Characteristic computed tomographic findings are instrumental in recognizing PCI and distinguishing it from other causes of pneumoperitoneum.
