Case report
Version: 1Date:1 July 2010
Reviewer: Fumihiko Miura
Reviewer's report:
This manuscript dscribes a rare case of phneumomediastinum as a complication
of emphysematous cholecystitis. Authors advocate that emphysematous
cholecystitis should be considered as a possible cause of pneumomediastinum.
Although this manuscript would appeal to many readers, there are some
problems.
Major Compulsory Revisions:
1. A title of this manuscript should be changed into “Peumomediastinum
occurring after cholecystectomy for emphysematous cholecystitis: Case report”.
2. Authors should mention the influence of open cholecystectomy on occurrence
of pheumomediasitinum.
3. Authors also described laparotomy findings in detail.
Minor Essential Revisions:
1. Page 4, line 7, “isquemic” is not correct.
2. Figure legend is poor.
3. Authors should present a photograph demonstrating subcutaneous necrosis, if
possible.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
