A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen: Idiopathic Chylous Peritonitis Genel Cerrahi

Objective & Hypothesis:Effusion of chylous fluid in abdomen can rarely causeacute abdominal symptoms and mimic other diseasesthat cause acute abdominal pain.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Chylous peritonitis isusually idiopathic and differential diagnosis usuallymade by surgery (laparotomy, laparoscopy).In thisarticle, we aimed to present our case that operated foran inital diagnosis of acute perforated appendicitis andno pathology observed except chylous ascites inabdomen.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:Patient is under follow up inpostoperative 2nd month without any problems

Abstract

Effusion of chylous fluid in abdomen can rarely causeacute abdominal symptoms and mimic other diseasesthat cause acute abdominal pain. Chylous peritonitis isusually idiopathic and differential diagnosis usuallymade by surgery (laparotomy, laparoscopy).In thisarticle, we aimed to present our case that operated foran inital diagnosis of acute perforated appendicitis andno pathology observed except chylous ascites inabdomen. Peritoneal lavage was performed to thepatient in this case. Patient is under follow up inpostoperative 2nd month without any problems

Özet

Batın içinde şilöz sıvı birikimi nadiren akut karınsemptomlarına yol açabilmekte ve akut karına yol açandiğer hastalıklarla karışabilmektedir. Şilöz peritonitgenellikle idiopatiktir ve ayırıcı tanı çoğunlukla cerrahigirişim (laparotomi, laparoskopi) ile yapılabilmektedir.Bu yazıda, akut perfore apandisit ön tanısı ile acil opereedilen ve batın içinde şilöz asit dışında patolojisaptanmayan bir vakamızı sunmayı amaçladık. Buvakada hastaya peritoneal lavaj uygulandı. Hasta,postoperatifedilmektedir
