| Core Tip |
This case highlights the rare but critical complications of pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumomediastinum in perforated diverticulitis, emphasizing the importance of high clinical suspicion in patients with atypical presentations. Timely computed tomography imaging and prompt surgical intervention are essential, as delayed diagnosis can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Despite the absence of typical peritoneal signs, early detection and intervention are crucial for improving patient outcomes. |
