Endoscopic retrograde pancreatocholangiography (ERCP) is associated with many types of adverse events (AEs) but idiopathic perforation of the gallbladder (IPGB) is very rare. Pancreatobiliary reflux is one of the factors involved with occurrence of IPGB 1. Here we present a case of acalculous gallbladder perforation as an AE following the insertion of an indwelling endoscopic nasal pancreatic drainage (ENPD) tube (a pancreatic stent) to obtain pancreatic fluid. In this case, acute pancreatobiliary reflux might have been caused by the insertion of the ENPD-tube.

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.

Less common etiologies include Crohn's disease, gallstone ileus, and Meckel's diverticulum (MD). While MD is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, it is less frequently considered as a cause in adults.
