Patient\u2019s family initially denied a history of trauma. Radiologic examination showed pneumoperitoneum and colon dilatation. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a tension pneumoperitoneum, bloody ascitic fluid, multiple site of ecchymosis and serosal tear of the colon and a minute perforation of transverse colon. Postoperative reinvestigation revealed that the patient\u2019s perineum was sprayed, using blow gun dust cleaner.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Air from pneumatic tools produces column of air at pressure of 3.5\u20138.8 kg\/cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      and pressure greater than the resting anal pressure of 0.109 kg\/cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      force air to enter the colon when the perineum is sprayed.
