Özet: Syncope is a common complaint in emergency clinics, but the symptoms of syncope are quite comprehensive. In this study, we are going to present a case of a non-parasitic giant liver cyst that caused compression of the inferior vena cava with the right atrium in a 47-year-old female patient with a history of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who applied to the emergency department due to syncope. In the examinations performed in the emergency department, we detected a giant liver cyst pressing on the inferior vena cava, right atrium, and ventricle of the heart, which prevents venous return. Sclerotherapy with catheterization was applied to the non-parasitic giant liver cyst and the drainage catheter was kept in the cyst cavity for one week to prevent an early recurrence.
