Summary:A 62-year-old male with end-stage renal failure on peritoneal dialysis presented with sudden onset scrotal swelling following a violent coughing fit. He was referred for a peritoneal leak study to evaluate the scrotal swelling. This case illustrates the benefit of SPECT/CT imaging in the diagnosis and anatomic localization of peritoneal leakage as a complication of peritoneal dialysis.
