Abstract

We present the case of a 38-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain was detected to have atraumatic splenic rupture and was managed with splenectomy. A potentially fatal condition known as splenic rupture is accompanied by severe abdominal pain. Atraumatic spleen rupture (ASR), though uncommon, has been documented. It is not usually considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen so often missed in emergency leading to high morbidity and mortality. CECT abdomen is essential for diagnosis and management is based on aggressive treatment of shock and Splenectomy, depending on hemodynamic status.
