Öz

Coexistence of pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema after colonoscopy is a rarely seen condition. We present this rare clinical condition seen after colonoscopy to contribute to the literature. A 62-year-old male patient, who was operated for acute abdomen two years ago, underwent colonoscopy due to colon stenosis. He applied with the complaints of swelling in the neck and subcutaneous swelling in the chest and abdomen after the procedure. Pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema were detected in the patient In case of subcutaneous emphysema to be seen after colonoscopy, the possibility of pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax should also be considered.

Öz

Kolonoskopi sonrası pnömoretroperitoneum, pnömomediastinum,pnömotoraks ve subkutan amfizem birlikteliği nadir görülen bir durumdur. Kolonoskopi sonrası görülen bu nadir klinik durumu literatüre katkı sağlaması amaçlı sunduk. Akut batın nedeniyle iki yıl önce opere olan hasta kolon darlığı nedeniyle kolonoskopi yapılan 62 yaşındaki erkek hasta işlem sonrası boynunda şişlik, göğsünde ve karnında cilt altı şişlik şikayeti ile başvurdu. Hastada pnömoretroperitoneum, pnömomediastinum ve subkutan amfizem tespit edildi. Kolonoskopi sonrası görülecek cilt altı amfizem durumunda akla pnömomediastinum ve pnömotoraks olma ihtimalide gelmelidir.
