摘要：

When used for a selected patient population, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can provide enteral nutrition percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) safely. PEG tubes generally possess a very low chance of life -threatening complications but due to the patient population that requires PEG tubes, a delayed diagnosis of minor complications could be fatal. In this study, we present a case of delayed pneumoperitoneum, discovered weeks after our patient underwent PEG placement for enteral nutritional needs. The patient recovered without the need for operative intervention. The development of a pneumoperitoneum in the setting of recent PEG needs a thorough clinical evaluation, and caution must be taken before immediately proceeding to operative exploration.
