    • Gastroenterology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Subcutaneous emphysema is typically associated with thoracic pathology.
    • It can result from various sources, including infections and trauma to the respiratory, gastrointestinal, or integumentary systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of subcutaneous emphysema resulting from spontaneous gastric rupture.
    • To highlight a rare etiology of subcutaneous emphysema.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Clinical and diagnostic evaluation of a middle-aged woman with shock, abdominal distention, and rigidity.

    Main Results:

    • The patient presented with symptoms of shock, abdominal distention, and rigidity.

  • Subcutaneous emphysema was identified as the cause, originating from a spontaneous gastric rupture.

    • Conclusions:

    • Spontaneous gastric rupture is a rare but critical cause of subcutaneous emphysema.
    • Recognition of gastrointestinal origins is crucial for diagnosing subcutaneous emphysema, especially in patients with abdominal symptoms.
