[Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum. Two case reports].
The author reports two cases of spontaneous pneumoperitoneum subjected to a laparotomy without evidence of intra-abdominal damage. Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum is a clinical situation caused by favourable, abdominal or extra-abdominal, conditions in association or otherwise with symptoms. Suspicion of this situation is asymptomatic patients with pneumoperitoneum and a rigorous clinical check can avoid unnecessary laparotomies.
