Emphysema of the anterior abdominal wall is associated with perforation of the small intestine, appendix and colon while emphysema of the scrotum, perineum, or thigh is usually associated with tears in the anorectal area or colon. Here in, a rare case of a retroperitoneal perforated acute appendicitis causing formation of retroperitoneal abscesses with extensive subcutaneous emphysema diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan of abdomen is described.
Karın ön duvarında anfizem görülmesi apendiks ve ince barsak perforasyonu sonrasında görüldüğü halde, skrotum, perine ve bacak bölgesindeki anfizemler genellikle anorektal bölge yırtıkları ve kolon perforasyonları sonrasında görülür. Burada, akut apandisitin nadiren retroperitoneal bölgeye olan perforasyonunu takiben ortaya çıkan ve bilgisayarlı kontrastlı karın tomografi taraması ile saptanan retropritoneal apse ve yoğun ciltaltı anfizemi olgusu tanımlandı.
