Abstract

Abdominal compartment syndrome occurs following increased intra-abdominal pressure, which leads to functional impairment of essential organs. We presented a 68-year-old man presented with abdominal distension. Initial diagnosis was faecal impaction with history of chronic constipation. Rectal tube was inserted and patient underwent enema. The patient deteriorated with organ failure and subsequently confirmed abdominal compartment syndrome. The patient finally succumbed with irreversible organ failure. © 2017, Medcom Limited.
