[A rare symptom of peptic ulcer perforation: subcutaneous emphysema].
The authors describe a 50-year-old man who was hospitalized on account of one-week increasing epigastric pain with marked regression several hours after admission. The revealed small subcutaneous emphysema near the umbilicus directed the diagnostic procedure and led to detection of a covered perforation of a peptic prepyloric ulcer.
