Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum: A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen
Dr. Garvit Singh [3] | Dr. Jignesh Dave [6]
Abstract: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, determined by collection of blood inside peritoneum. It may manifest with heterogeneous clinical presentation, mimicking other more severe entities responsible for acute abdominal pain, causing a diagnostic dilemma for surgeons. CT represents the gold standard technique for evaluation of patients with indeterminate acute abdominal pain. Earlier identification of this condition with the help of radiological modalities has led to the avoidance of exploratory laparotomy. Here I present a case of spontaneous hemoperitoneum which was seen in our institute. the case was managed conservatively.
Keywords: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum, diagnostic dilemma
