Summary

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a well known condition occuring in critically ill patients in intensive care units.

This syndrome features a sustained intra abdominal hypertension (IAH) above 20 mmHg and a multiple organ failure due to the raise of the intra abdominal pressure.

Several reviews described CT findings linked to these conditions, but most of them suffer an insufficient statistical method.

Furthermore, the main CT feature described as specific in ACS, Round Belly Sign (RBS), has been highly debated since.

This study is aimed to evaluate, in a prospective way, the diagnostic and prognostic value of CT findings in abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome patients hosted in intensive care units, based on previous reviews and adding three new CT features described for the first time.
