Core Tip	Rupture of the sigmoid colon caused by compressed air is uncommon. Most of the injuries occur around the junction of the rectum and sigmoid colon. Abdominal distention and pain develop abruptly, and if colon perforation also occurs, symptoms of peritoneal irritation are also present. The diagnosis is not difficult if the patient has a history of abdominal pain and distention after exposure to compressed air. The management of pneumatic colon injury has two aspects: tension pneumoperitoneum and colon injury. Moreover, in our opinion, prevention and treatment of shock is essential. The prognosis has been favorable in recent years.
