A Rare Cause of Intraabdominal Haemoraggy Ethiology: Retroperitoneal Haemoragic Cyst

Abstract

Primary retroperitoneal cysts are rare benign lesions. Generally, these lesions originates from lymphatic system hipoplasia or pelvic or retroperitoneal operations. Although it is usually asymptomatic, they can cause symptoms as hipotension, tachicardia or even shock due to intracystic haemorhaggy, gas retantion or hydronephrosis due to compression of adjacent organs. Definitive diagnosis is diffucult before surgery. However, diagnosis can be estimated by direct graphy, computed tomography, ultrasound and other techniques. Conservative treatments, percutaneous drainage, marsupialization, open or laparoscopic cyst excision are the treatment options. In this case report, we present a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhagic cyst which was opened to the abdomen causing acute abdomen.
