Keywords:

Introduction: Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is the most commonly seen extra intestinal manifestation of Entamoeba infection.[1] Out of which, a rare complication of amoebic liver abscess is rupture of liver abscess. We report 43 cases of ruptured amoebic liver abscess coming with acute abdomen which were operated at Department of Surgery, Dhiraj general hospital, Vadodara from January 2020 to December 2021. Surgical treatment in these cases should be carried out in a timely fashion prior to the presentation of systemic repercussions or death. result: Out of all patients, 37 patients were male and 6 were female and 37 patients were chronic alcoholic. The mean age was 47 years. At presentation, most cases had clinical signs of generalized peritonitis. Ultrasonography for collection in peritoneal cavity showed moderate free fluid with internal echoes suggestive of pyoperitoneum. Out of which 09 patients had free air under the diaphragm. All 43 patients underwent resuscitation and then shifted for surgery. All underwent exploratory laparotomy for ruptured liver abscess. Intraoperatively, 05 patients had a single abscess in the right lobe, 06 had abscess in both lobes of liver and 33 had multiple abscesses in right lobe.
