ABSTRACT
|
|
Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare ill-defined clinicopathological entity and occurs in only 1% of all splenic ruptures. It occurs usually as a result of splenic infiltration by infectious or hematological diseases. We present a case of 36-year-old female who was admitted to our emergency department with a three-hour history of acute onset abdominal pain and dyspnea. There was no history of trauma and infectious or hematological diseases. Considering the hemodynamic instability an emergent laparotomy was performed. During laparotomy, a 5-cm splenic laceration was found and a splenectomy was performed. The histology report confirmed that there was no pathological cause of splenic rupture. Keywords: Acute abdomen, Atraumatic splenic rupture, Splenectomy |
