Abstract :

Perforated peptic ulcer is a common abdominal disease that is treated by surgery. Despite the use of proton pump inhibitors, perforated peptic ulcer remains a frequent surgical emergency with an average mortality rate of 5.8%. This is a report of a 77-year-old Saudi diagnosed as a calculus cholecystitis and upon laparoscopic exploration it was found to be sealed duodenum perforation. Patient was treated conservatively and discharged in good condition. Every effort should be done to diagnose perforated ulcer. Radiological investigations can be misleading. It is crucial to have high index of suspicion for complications of perforated ulcer, in order to manage them appropriately. Thus, appropriate clinical decision making should not be delayed by suboptimal imaging. Plain abdominal imaging harbors a substantial risk for false negative results. Accordingly, when imaging is used, low-dosage CT scan should be preferred. Presenter
