title: Gas-containing Liver Abscess Mimicking Pneumoperitoneum.
abstract: Gas under the diaphragm or pneumoperitoneum, is often a sign of grave intra-abdominal pathology. It can be due to either of surgical or non-surgical etiology. Here we present a case of gas under right dome of diaphragm caused by a non-surgical cause i.e. secondary to aspiration of liver abscess.
