“…The US findings of hydatid cyst rupture include the detection of the cyst and free intraperitoneal fluid. CT is useful and effective for determining the exact site of the cyst and its features [8]. Diagnostic laparoscopy can also be used for the diagnosis of a perforated hydatid cyst into the peritoneum [9].…”

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.

Hydatid cyst related-pulmonary embolism is an uncommon condition. We admitted an 81-year-old woman to our hospital with chest pain. A multidetector computed tomography of the chest showed an oval, cystic filling defect, containing daughter cysts, causing vessel enlargement within the right main pulmonary artery and its lobar and segmental branches. Three giant hydatid cyst lesions in the right lobe of the liver adjacent to the inferior vena cava with daughter cysts were detected using the abdominal ultrasonography. Hydatid cyst-related pulmonary embolism should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients who have chest pain and hepatic hydatidosis.

Acute abdomen can be defined as a clinical condition often requires emergency surgical therapy and characterized by severe abdominal pain with tenderness that develops over a short period of time, generally less than 24 hours. There are a variety of conditions that can present clinically with acute abdomen such as: inflammatory, vascular, mechanic, traumatic. In many cases, the clinical presentation is similar, independent of etiology. The radiological imaging plays very important role to determine the need for operative intervention and initiate appropriate therapy. Our aim is to describe the computed tomography findings of the most common conditions of acute abdomen excluding trauma and pediatric or obstetric patients.
