Abstract

Tension pneumoperitoneum (TP) is defined as the massive accumulation of air in the peritoneal cavity, which results in a sudden increase in intraabdominal pressure. Various iatrogenic procedures are responsible for this complication (1). We report a case of tension pneumoperitoneum after percutaneous radiological gastrostomy (PRG).
