Although the patients may often appear ill or toxic, they can have normal vital signs at initial presentation. Patients with such injury can present with a variety of complaints because of the nature of referred pain. As a result, some patients may be more or less straightforward, thus illustrating the importance of obtaining a detailed history and performing a thorough physical examination.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We discuss an uncommon case report of pneumoperitoneum with peritonitis in an adolescent patient presenting with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain hours after vigorous coitus.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Examination under anesthesia, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and exploratory laparoscopy revealed a vaginal laceration and a 2- to 3-cm perforated area at the left edge of the vaginal laceration that involved the rectovaginal septum entering the peritoneal cavity.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Pneumoperitoneum resulting from vaginal intercourse in an otherwise healthy adolescent female is a rare cause of peritonitis.
