Pneumoperitoneum, characterized by the presence of air in the peritoneal cavity, is usually associated with severe clinical conditions, such as perforations of hollow viscera, often requiring urgent surgical intervention. However, in rare cases, pneumoperitoneum occurs without an identifiable cause, thus classified as idiopathic pneumoperitoneum. We present two clinical cases of women who developed pneumoperitoneum after extensive gynecological surgeries.

Intramural bowel gas (Pneumatosis intestinalis) refers to the radiological or clinical evidence of gas within the wall of the bowel lumen. While intramural gas could be secondary to life-threatening pathologies such as mesenteric ischemia in adults and necrotizing enterocolitis in neonates, it could also occur as a rare benign sub-type called Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, which is characterized by multiple gas-filled cysts in the submucosa and/or subserosal of the gastrointestinal tract. Distinguishing between life-threatening Pneumatosis intestinalis and its benign subtypes requires careful clinical and imaging evaluation.
