Colonoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic intervention with an excellent safety profile. Although an intraperitoneal hemorrhage is a rare complication after colonoscopy, and usually associated with splenic injury or solid organ pathology, it is potentially serious and can be life-threatening. We report a rare case of spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage after diagnostic colonoscopy without splenic injury or intra-abdominal abnormality, known as idiopathic spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage. This case emphasizes that physicians should be aware of the emergence of acute abdomen after colonoscopy.

Intussusception is rare in adults accounting for 5% of all cases. It can be caused by various lesions but is rarely the result of trauma. Recently we encountered a case of adult intussusception after blunt abdominal trauma without any other leading causes. We report this case with a review of the relevant literatures.

Spigelian hernia is an uncommon hernia of the ant. abdominal wall. Because of its insidious nature and nonspecific physical findings, the diagnosis of this hernia is often not made. Typically, the hernia orifice is small, and strangulation of the contents of the hernial sac can occur. Computed tomography permits the distinction between Spigelian hernia and other anterial abdominal wall or intraabdominal masses. Spigelian hernia requires surgical correction to prevent complication of acute abdomen with strangulation or incarceration. The typical site of a Spigelian hernia is at the level of the semicircular fold of Douglas known as the arcuate line. Spigelian hernia can occur above the umbilicus, high Spigelian hernia, but its very unusual site. We report a case of Spigelian hernia on upper abdomen and review the literature.

Rectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen, caused by a tear in deep epigastric vessels or its branches. It occurs spontaneously, after trauma or surgery. Rectus abdominus myonecrosis is a life threatening complication of rectus sheath hematoma. We report a case with fatal rectus sheath hematoma complicated by rectus abdominus myonecrosis caused by ischial fracture in a chronic active rheumatoid arthritis patient.

Primary torsion of the greater omentum is a rare cause of an acute abdomen in children, which often mimic other acute abdominal conditions. Resection of the infarcted segment is the treatment of choice. Here, a case of torsion of the greater omentum, diagnosed with preoperative computed tomography and subsequently managed by laparoscopic surgery, is reported. The patient was discharged three day after surgery without any complication. Omental torsion can be accurately diagnosed and safely treated with a laparoscopy.

Pyometra is an accumulation of purulent fluid in the uterine cavity. Generalized peritonitis secondary to a perforated pyometra is extremely rare. Most of the pyometra perforation is associated with malignancy. We have experienced a case of generalized peritonitis secondary to a perforated pyometra with no associated malignancy.
