Football sign
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In radiology, the football sign is a sign indicative of air in the abdominal cavity seen on supine radiographs of the abdomen. It appears as a large oval radiolucency reminiscent of an American football.[1] The football sign is most frequently seen in infants with spontaneous or iatrogenic gastric perforation causing pneumoperitoneum.
