“…The most specific finding for GI perforation is the presence of extraluminal air, barium or radiocontrast fluid. [8] In our patient, there were no pathological findings on plain X-ray or abdominal US. We performed abdominal CT, and found extraluminal air in the entire abdomen.…”

“…Because of the challenge of the diagnosis in immunosuppressed patients based on physical examination and plain X-ray findings, this can be followed by contrast administration orally and rectally under fluoroscopy or CT. [8] The CT diagnosis of perforation was based on direct and indirect findings. [8] Extraluminal air under the diaphragm on plain X-ray can be identified in only 50-70% of these patients. CT is more sensitive in detecting extraluminal air and contrast.…”

“…Serbest hava lasser sac da bulunuyorsa perforasyon yeri muhtemelen duodenum ya da midenin posteriyor duvarındadır. [20] Sağ anteriyor pararenal alandaki ekstraluminal serbest hava bulber segment dışındaki duodenal perforasyon tanısında güvenilir bir BT bulgusudur. [21] Literatür ile uyumlu olarak bizim çalışmamızda da gastroduodenal perforasyonu olan hastanın hepsinde serbest hava görüldü.…”
