Emergency admission was ordered for conservative treatment. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed edematous mucosa in the entire gastric vestibule. After being discharged on the 7th day, her clinical course was uneventful over 2 months of follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The initial clinical manifestations of pneumoperitoneum are variable and range widely from asymptomatic to septic shock. The etiology of pneumoperitoneum in our patient implied a subclinical visceral perforation that resolved without treatment. We advocate an algorithm for the initial management of pneumoperitoneum according to the extent of peritonitis and impaired conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Incidentally found asymptomatic pneumoperitoneum does not always require intervention.
