Abstract

Three cases of mediastinal emphysema complicating pneumoperitoneum in the treatment of tuberculosis are reported. The signs and symptoms of this entity are discussed and the theories explaining its occurrence are stated. It is felt that the incidence of mediastinal emphysema in pneumoperitoneum is greater than previously reported, as many cases with mild symptoms may well be missed.
