Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Abdominal compartment syndrome secondary to a very large benign ovarian tumor has been rarely reported in gynecology. With the increase of intraabdominal pressure in abdominal compartment syndrome, all major organ systems are adversely affected, causing a potentially fatal condition. CASE: A 43-year-old woman presenting with a tensely distended abdomen developed hypotension, difficulty in ventilation, and anuria. An ovarian tumor complicated by abdominal compartment syndrome was diagnosed, along with hemodynamic decompensation. Prompt resuscitation with immediate surgical removal of the tumor reversed the life-threatening situation. CONCLUSION: Timely aggressive resuscitation, prompt surgical decompression, and intensive perioperative hemodynamic management are required for patients with ovarian mucinous cystadenoma complicated by abdominal compartment syndrome.
