Abstract

Hydatid cyst rupture should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in endemic areas. Rupture into the abdominal cavity is a rare but serious complication of hydatid disease. Rupture of a hydatid cyst requires emergency surgical intervention. Hydatidosis is endemic in the Mediterranean region including Morrocco, the middle and far East, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. The annual incidence of hydatid disease has been reported as 18 to 20 cases per 100000 inhabitants. Patient's age and sex, initial complaints, physical findings, size and location of the cyst, Indirect Hemagglutination Test (IHAT), laboratory data, imaging modalities, surgical procedures, reasons for perforation, the presence of anaphylaxis, complications, the presence of bile ducts on the inner surface of cystic cavity, morbidity, and mortality were evaluated. All of the patients had signs of peritoneal irritation such as tenderness and rebound. Surgical procedures include partial cystectomy (PC), omentoplasty and drainage, cystotomy and drainage, PC and capitonnage, cystotomy, drainage and capitonnage, cystectomy, cystotomy and drainage, cystotomy, drainage and right nephyrectomy, cystotomy, PC and drainage, PC and drainage and cholecystectomy and choledochoduodenostomy, cystectomy and cystotomy and drainage and cholecystectomy and cystectomy and cholecystectomy. Median hospital stay was 13 days and median follow-up was 12 months. The reported frequency of liver hydatid cyst rupture into the peritoneal cavity ranges from 1% to 16%. A rupture of a hydatid cyst into the abdominal cavity is a rare complication of the hydatid disease and causes serious problems and severe, life-threatening complications, including anaphylaxis. Rupture may result from trauma or may occur spontaneously from increased pressure of the cystic fluid. The main risk factors predisposing to rupture include young age, cyst diameter >10 cm, and superficial cyst location. The goal of the surgical treatment is to prevent complications, to eliminate local disease, and to minimize morbidity, mortality, and recurrence rates.
