We report our experience with a case of stomach perforation after accidental ingestion of liquid nitrogen. A 13-year-old boy ate a snackat an amusement park and began to complain of sudden onset of severe abdominal pain with shortness of breath. It was determinedthat the snack he had ingested had been cooled with liquid nitrogen. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen and a chestX-ray showed a large volume of pneumoperitoneum. During surgery, a 4-cm perforation of the angularis incisura of the stomachwas identified. Primary repair and omentopexy was performed. The patient was discharged without postoperative complications.
