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.

“…We think that this is because of older people tending to go to hospital for their other disorders more so than young people. The median size of the perforated cysts was 9.7 cm (range [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The location of most perforated cysts into the liver was segment VI.…”

“…The symptoms are generally due to pressure resulting from growth of the cyst and to complications. 5 The most common complication of a hepatic hydatid cyst is intrabiliary rupture (5%-25%), 6 whereas intraperitoneal rupture is observed in 3.2% to 16% of the cases.…”

Hydatid cysts, which are endemic to certain areas, typically are found in the liver. Spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture, which can be life threatening, is rare. This article presents a case of spontaneous rupture of a hydatid cyst in a 69-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency department. The patient had no history of trauma. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography suggested rupture of a hydatid cyst. The patient underwent a partial cystectomy, and the cystic area was washed with hypertonic saline and the peritoneal cavity was washed with isotonic saline and drained. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with albendazole for 3 months. No additional pathology was observed at the 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups. Although rare, a ruptured hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen in a patient residing in an endemic area.

“…The rupture of HC of the liver may be secondary to trauma or occurs spontaneously, and the cyst content drains into biliary tree or flows freely into the peritoneal cavity [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and sepsis occur in intrabiliary rupture of the HC.…”

“…The predisposing factors leading to spontaneous rupture include the increased size of the cyst and increased tension on the cyst wall [11,14]. Although the all layers of the HC wall and the cuticle are included, laminated and germinative layers are discontinued irrespective of the mechanism of rupture.…”
