Abdominal compartment syndrome occurring due to uterine perforation during a hysteroscopy procedure

Kyu Chang Lee et al. J Anesth. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

We report a case of abdominal compartment syndrome occurring due to uterine perforation while the patient was undergoing hysteroscopic uterine adhesiolysis for uterine synechia. The cause of the patient's abdominal compartment syndrome was irrigation fluid moving from the uterine cavity into the peritoneal space via defects in the uterus. Anesthesiologists must be alert for these complications during hysteroscopy procedures.
