Abstract
Splenic rupture is a well-described complication of blunt abdominal trauma. Spontaneous splenic rupture is an uncommon and potentially fatal clinical entity. Patients usually suffer from acute abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant, nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
Ultrasonography is important for diagnosis and abdominal computed tomography is important for staging the splenic rupture. For the treatment either splenectomy or follow up (for low grade splenic rupture) can be done. We present a case of atraumatic splenic rupture with no abnormal findings on pathologic examination of spleen that was treated with splenectomy.
