Summary The retroperitoneal space is made up of multiple communicating compartments. Here we detail an unusual case of ectopic gas almost exclusively isolated to the properitoneal space, a space in communication with the retroperitoneum. This case is a reminder that when extraperitoneal gas is identified, the retroperitoneal structures should be interrogated carefully to identify a cause.
