摘要
In this report, we present the case of a 61-year-old male patient diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), who presented to the ER with worsening shortness of breath, several hours following elective percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement. During his hospitalization, he was diagnosed with massive pneumoperitoneum, a potential complication of such procedures. We aim to provide a general overview of this condition and to discuss the special considerations in the treatment of ALS.
