Flood syndrome, first reported in 1961 by Frank B Flood, refers to spontaneous umbilical hernia rupture followed by a sudden rush of ascitic fluid. It is a rare sequela in the setting of refractory ascites and liver cirrhosis. Clues to impending rupture include color changes, ulceration, or necrosis over the umbilical hernia that warrants urgent surgical intervention. In this report, we present a unique case of Flood syndrome in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis and umbilical hernia. The patient underwent urgent umbilical herniorrhaphy without mesh; even though adequate postoperative management of ascites was performed, the patient still developed other comorbidities.
弗拉德综合征由弗兰克·B·弗拉德于1961年首次报道，指自发性脐疝破裂后腹水突然涌出。它是难治性腹水和肝硬化情况下的一种罕见后遗症。脐疝即将破裂的线索包括颜色改变、溃疡或坏死，这需要紧急手术干预。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例失代偿期肝硬化合并脐疝患者的弗拉德综合征罕见病例。该患者接受了无补片的紧急脐疝修补术；尽管术后对腹水进行了充分管理，但患者仍出现了其他合并症。
