Figure 1.
Figure 1. Chest and abdomen. There is a large pneumoperitoneum as evident by continuous diaphragmatic outline, free intraperitoneal air lining the inferior margin of the liver and positive Rigler’s sign.

The small bowel loops are dilated and demonstrate wall thickening in left upper quadrant.
