Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder commonly seen in children. Children with ADHD have a higher risk of sustaining traumatic injury. We report a child with ADHD who had suffered a splenic injury and had then received a conservative splenic artery embolization. A huge splenic cyst formed after the procedure. Although he had no uncomfortable symptoms and had received regular follow up, he suffered a grade IV splenic injury again two years later. Children with ADHD who have a huge splenic cyst should be treated surgically at an early stage to avoid an increased risk of splenic rupture.
