Article Synopsis
- An 82-year-old Japanese man was admitted to the hospital for constipation and abdominal pain, where imaging showed both a large fecal buildup and free air in his abdomen.
- The patient underwent emergency surgery for suspected gastrointestinal perforation, but no actual perforation or damage was found in the digestive tract.
- The case suggests that the free air was likely caused by a mucosal injury due to pressure from the accumulated feces, and the patient recovered well post-surgery, being discharged after 13 days.
The patient was a 73-year-old man who was hospitalized with advanced gastric cancer. Computer tomography showed multiple liver and mediastinum lymph node metastases. Therefore, he was diagnosed as unresectable gastric cancer(Stage IV).
