摘要：

Umbilical hernias develop in approximately 20% of patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites. Flood Syndrome is an eponym describing the spontaneous rupture of these umbilical hernias due to the elevated intrabdominal pressure associated with large-volume ascites. Though rare, Flood Syndrome is associated with several life-threatening sequela including infection, organ failure, and hypovolemic shock, leading to mortality or transplant in over 30% of patients. The following case is a single patient encounter describing an 80-year-old female with long-standing ascites who presented to the Emergency Department shortly after experiencing a spontaneous extravasation of fluid from her umbilical hernia.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
