Hydatid cyst rupture into abdomen is a serious complication in cystic hydatid disease of liver. Both microscopic or macroscopic rupture can occur and it is fatal without surgery. It is primarily caused by tapeworm (ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS) and occurs worldwide with an incidence of 200/100,000in endemic areas. This is a case of 28 yr. female presenting with sudden onset pain abdomen since 4 days. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrates ruptured hepatic hydatid cyst with free peritoneal fluid. She was managed in emergency operation theatre due to her clinical condition and exploratory laparotomy with omentopexy and toileting were done after fluid resuscitation, antihistaminic and corticosteroid treatment. Postoperatively she received antihelminthic treatment with Albendazol. She made a good recovery following surgery.

Abstract 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.

Hepatic hydatid cysts are benign cysts in the liver that are the result of parasites infection. They are caused by echinoccocus granulosis or multilocularis. They caused several symptoms like pain, obstructive jaundice, and sepsis. Hydatid cyst can be complicated to cystobiliary communication (CBC) which can be frank CBC or occult CBC. Medical, endoscopic, percutaneous and surgical treatments are different approaches to treat hydatid cyst. Here we report a case of hepatic hydatid cyst with cystobiliary communication, causing obstructive jaundice and treated with sphincterotomy and insertion of biliary stent through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
