A 73-year-old man, who had been on CAPD for two years, presented with
massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage. On laparotomy the peritoneal catheter was
situated in a large pouch that was lined by fibrous tissue. The hemorrhage
arose from erosion of the pouch wall -an unusual cause of intraperitoneal
bleeding in the CAPD patient.
KEY WORDS: Intraperitoneal hemorrhage; CAPD; sclerosing peritonitis.
