Barium peritonitis is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with gastrointestinal (GI) contrast investigation. After the first report of barium peritonitis by Himmelmann (1) in 1932, the incidence of peritonitis following barium examination has been reported to be 0.2–0.8% (2, 3). To date, there are about 30 reported cases of barium peritonitis following an upper GI series in the literature, which focused on clinical findings and management (3). However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no report of barium peritonitis following an upper GI series that deals with radiologic findings. In this report, we described a rare case of barium peritonitis following an upper GI series with its imaging findings and facilitated a discussion on the prevention and management of this disease entity.
