Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum is the presence of free air in abdominal cavity, usually related with hollow organ injury. It is considered idiopathic if there are no causes identified. We present a woman’s case, with no important comorbidities, who went to the Emergency Department for abdominal pain with inespecific caractheristics, with main finding of pneumoperitoneum after studies.
Through radiologic Evaluation we ruled out intestinal structural compromiso and managed her case in a conservative manner with success.
