Popis: |
Patients with ascites can develop spontaneous hemoperitoneum after injury or as a complication of diagnostic or therapeutic techniques. Spontaneous rupture of intra-abdominal varices is a rare complication of portal hypertension and an infrequent cause of hemoperitoneum that causes high mortality (75%). We present a new case of spontaneous hemoperitoneum secondary to umbilical vein rupture in a male patient with liver cirrhosis and review the cases previously described in the literature. |
