Abstract
A unique case of pneumoperitoneum, without peritonitis or perforation, associated with jejunal diverticulosis is presented. Pneumoperitoneum is documented over the course of many years, with recurrence after partial small bowel resection. Jejunal diverticulosis is one of the leading gastrointestinal causes of pneumoperitoneum without peritonitis or surgery. The distended diverticular mucosa may function as a semipermeable membrane allowing transmural gas equilibration.
