Abstract

A 68-year-old woman with repeated episodes of bleeding due to small bowel angiodysplasia developed a pneumoretroperitoneum after a video enteroscopic examination with electrocoagulation of both duodenal and jejunal lesions using a bipolar device. Pneumoretroperitoneum was probably related to intestinal perforation during the therapeutic procedure. Pneumoretroperitoneum completely resolved with conservative measures and there were no additional complications.
