Review Case ReportsAbdominal compartment syndrome secondary to ovarian mucinous cystadenoma.
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. ⋯ Timely aggressive resuscitation, prompt surgical decompression, and intensive perioperative hemodynamic management are required for patients with ovarian mucinous cystadenoma complicated by abdominal compartment syndrome.
