Abstract
Abstract Rupture of a normal spleen during pregnancy is very rare. We report a case of splenic rupture following an unclear history of falling in third trimester of pregnancy.

Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), renal failure, adult respiratory distress, necrotizing enterocolitis and bilateral hydrothorax were complications which were managed successfully.
