Abstract

We report an 83-year-old Japanese male with auto-somal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which was marked by unusually enlarged kidneys, and in whom ileus occurred after administration of procainamide. The bowels became swollen and ruptured the skin and appeared on the outside of the skin. Even after the ileus state was resolved, the projected intestinal tract was not restored due to a large defect of the skin, and ostomy was performed. Abdominal hernia including lateral ventral hernia due to enlarged kidneys may result in perforation of the abdominal wall as well as intestinal wall.
