Early clinical signs included a distended,tense and tympanic abdomen with pain and massive pneumoperitoneum(chest radiograph). Laparotomy revealed a 4-cm longitudinalperforation along the lesser curvature of the stomach. Thiscase represents a rare but severe complication that may occurduring fibreoptic intubation in the awake patient. |
