Abstract:
The surgical literature contains few reports about effects of hypothyroidism in patients with acute abdomen; has been reported that a glycoprotein infiltrate the lining of the bowel leading to denervation. We report the case of a woman with acute abdomen secondary to pyosalpynx with uncontrolled hypothyroidism postoperative complications.Hypothyroidism is called "big mimicker"because its clinic spectrum ranges from anasymptomatic subclinical condition to the rare,life-threatening myxedema coma, and thus can bea challenging diagnosis to make. Unrecognized hypothyroidism may lead to unnecessary surgery or even a potentially fatal outcome. A heightened awareness of this not so uncommon entity is mandatory
