“…In this regard, thorough knowledge of the etiologic spectrum of hypotension and acute abdominal pain is of utmost importance. Chronic HD patients with perirenal bleeding are not exceptional; however, such patients do not necessarily demonstrate a reduced BP (6). This is also the case with subjects who are not treated with renal replacement therapy (7).…”

Flank Pain, Nausea, Vomiting and Hypotension in a Chronic Hemodialysis Patient with a Spontaneous Perirenal Hemorrhage

Decreases in blood pressure develop in response to a wide range of clinical disorders. Various factors have been implicated in the development of hemodialysis-associated hypotension, including an impairment of the compensatory processes, an autonomic dysfunction or cardiac failure. The additional presence of concomitant acute abdomen may result in a diagnostically challenging situation. We herein report our experience with a chronic hemodialysis patient who developed severe hypotension with acute flank pain due to spontaneous bleeding around the kidney. Concerns regarding the management of the disease are also discussed.

“…Acute abdomen is another medical condition that may be caused by a myriad of diagnoses, including perirenal bleeding, and carries high risks of mortality and morbidity in patients on periodic HD programs (3)(4)(5)(6). In this regard, thorough knowledge of the etiologic spectrum of hypotension and acute abdominal pain is of utmost importance.…”

“…Ergun ve ark. [5] ise BT tetkiki kullanarak gerçekleştirdikleri çalışmada renal fonksiyonları normal akut abdominal ağrılı bireylerde epipoik apandisit sıklığını %1,5 olarak saptadı. Primer apandisitis epiploika her yaşta görülmekle beraber en sık 4. ve 5. dekadda ve özellikle obez bireylerde izlenir.…”

“…Ek olarak apendisitis epiploika' nın aksine lezyonun boyutu sıklıkla 5 cm' den fazladır. Omental infarktda ise omentumun santralinde yer alan heterojen kitle üçgen ya da oval şekillidir ve etrafında hiperdens ring izlenmez [5]. Klinik olarak bu beş antitenin ayırıcı tanısı tedavi yöntemlerinin farklılığı nedeniyle oldukça önemlidir.…”

ÖzetAkut karın ağrısına neden olan primer apendisitis epiploika, kolonun epiploik apendikslerinin kendi kendini sınırlayan benign inflamatuar hastalığıdır. Tedavisi konservatiftir ve klinik olarak akut apandisit ya da omental torsiyon gibi cerrahi tedavi gerektiren durumlara benzer. Ancak nadir olması nedeni ile genellikle akut abdominal ağrılı olgularda hem cerrah hem de radyolog tarafından göz ardı edilir. Ancak bu hastalığın bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulguları karakteristik olup tanı koydurucudur. Bu nedenle gereksiz cerrahi girişimlerin önlenmesi açısından bu hastalığın farkında olunması ve teşhis için BT tetkikinin seçilmesi son derece önemlidir.Biz burada bilgisayarlı tomografi ile tanısı konan akut abdominal ağrıya neden olan primer apendisitis epiploika olgusunu sunduk. Anahtar KelimelerApendisitis Epiploika; Bilgisayarlı Tomografi; Akut Abdominal Ağrı AbstractPrimary appendagitis epiploica -one of the causes of acute abdominal pain -is a self-limited rare benign inflammatory condition involving the colonic epiploic appendages. Their therapy is conservative and clinically mimics other conditions requiring surgery such as acute appendicitis or omental torsion. However, being a quite rare condition is the reason they are usually neglected by both the surgeon and the radiologist. However the computed tomography (CT) findings are rather characteristic and pathognomonic. Thus, to consider CT as the diagnostic modality of choice is extremely important in order to diagnose the condition and to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. This is a paper reporting an acute abdominal pain case of primary appendicitis epiploica diagnosed using computed tomography.

“…[2][3][4][5] In PD patients with abdominal pain, free air is rarely associated with viscus perforation. 6 Infections are a major concern in the PD population. 7 The overall rate of PD-associated infection is 0.24-1.66 episodes per patient-year on dialysis.…”
