Abstract
Recently a case report was published in Global Journal of reproductive medicine by Mulla AA et al. [1] on Spontaneous Rupture of splenic artery aneurysm. There need to be increased awareness about such cases in obstetric population because the incidence of splenic artery rupture in pregnancy is low and also may be not many cases are reported in literature. The finding of inquest [2] in the death of pregnant women revealed that eight deaths occurred in Australia from year 2000-2012 due to splenic artery rupture in pregnant women and main reason was that it was late and misdiagnosed. A review on 21 cases of retroperitoneal haematoma in obstetrics highlighted the fact that splenic artery rupture is one of the important causes of retroperitoneal haematoma and presentation can be confusing posing a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians .
