Abstrakt: Flood syndrome is a rare complication of cirrhosis of liver accompanied by ascites and a sudden rupture of umbilical hernia causing drainage of ascitic fluid from abdominal cavity. We report management of a case of Flood syndrome which was caused by rupture of incisional hernia. The clinical picture was similar to well described and widely accepted Flood syndrome. A 70-year-old female with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis was transported to the emergency department with a sudden drainage of ascitic fluid after sudden dehiscence of pre-existing incisional hernia and diffuse abdominal tenderness. Initially, she was managed by applying ostomy bag and diuretics to reduce the ascites. On 8th day of admission, a 16 Fr. drain was percutaneously placed in the left lower abdominal quadrant to divert the fluid from the abdominal wall defect. On 13th day, 80% partial splenic embolization (PSE) was attempted to control portal hypertension to reduce the ascites volume. After PSE, the hepatic venous pressure gradient reduced from 28 to 21cm H 2 O. The peritoneal drain was removed on 16th day and she was discharged on 22nd day. We conclude that PSE and temporary percutaneous peritoneal drainage are useful option to manage Flood syndrome.
