Abstract
Splenic rupture is a rare cause of hemoperitoneum in the neonate. Severe or fatal intra-abdominal injury may be present without a mark on the skin. Severe trauma to the left upper quadrant of the abdomen can produce lacerations or bursting ruptures of the spleen. Even a nontraumatic delivery may cause blunt abdominal trauma and splenic rupture. In this study a case of a neonatal death due to rupture of the normal spleen is presented and in the light of this case birth injuries are discussed.
