Ruptured Hydatid Cysts into the Peritoneum: A Case Series
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 10/02/09

Dirican A et al. – The rupture of hydatid cysts into the peritoneal cavity should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in endemic areas. Perforation in a young patient may be the first presentation of hydatid cyst. Multiple hydatid cysts may be a predisposing factor for perforation. Location of the cyst on segment VI of the liver may be a predisposing factor as well. Emergency surgery is the main treatment for intraperitoneal rupture of hydatid cysts and medical treatment should be given postoperatively.
