Hydatid peritonitis secondary to intraperitoneal rupture of a liver hydatid cyst is rare. We report the case of a 23-year-old patient admitted for acute generalised abdominal pain without fever or jaundice. Imaging revealed a ruptured segment IV hydatid cyst with early peritonitis. Surgical investigation revealed a ruptured segment IV hydatid cyst with biliary fistula and complicated peritonitis. The aim of this study is to report a case of intraperitoneal rupture of a hydatid cyst of the liver with hydatid peritonitis and to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties encountered in the course of this complication.
