ABSTRACT
Portal hypertension, responsible for the formation of oesophageal varices, also generates intra-abdominal varicose dilations, especially of the perisplenic and mesenteric veins, which, like the oesophageal veins, are susceptible to rupturing and bleeding, in this case within the peritoneal cavity. However, the spontaneous rupture of these intraperitoneal varices is a rare complication, and poorly described in the literature. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with CHILD B liver cirrhosis of unknown aetiology with portal hypertension on primary prophylaxis with carvedilol.
