Spontaneous extraperitoneal rupture of the rectum

چکیده
Spontaneous extraperitoneal rupture of the rectum is an extremely rare event not previously documented in the literature. We report the case of a 70 year-old lady who presented with intense lower abdominal pain. No predisposing or provoking factors were found in our patient despite detailed questioning apart from chronic constipation. A sudden increase of intraabdominal pressure was presumed to be the cause of rectal rupture.

متن کاملCT evaluation of spontaneously ruptured renal angiomyolipomas with massive hemorrhage spreading into multi-retroperitoneal fascia and fascial spaces
BACKGROUND Renal angiomyolipomas (RAMLs) can spontaneously rupture and induce hemorrhage that is usually confined to the perirenal space (PS) but may spread beyond the PS into other retroperitoneal fascia and fascial spaces, including up to the subdiaphramatic and down to pelvic extra-peritoneal regions. PURPOSE To evaluate the computed tomography (CT) manifestations of renal angiomyolipoma (...
