Postcoital pneumoperitoneum.
Acute abdominal and shoulder pain in association with a pneumoperitoneum are common signs and symptoms of perforation of a hollow viscus. We report a case that describes the development of a postcoital pneumoperitoneum in an otherwise healthy postpartum patient. The literature is discussed, and supports this case as pneumoperitoneum in association with vigorous coital activity.
