Abstract

Splenic rupture is a potentially life-threatening condition, often associated with chest or abdominal trauma. Spontaneous rupture is very rare and is usually reported as being secondary to underlying pathological conditions. We report a case of atraumatic splenic rupture in a patient with no underlying disease pathology. This case should remind the emergency physician spontaneous splenic rupture should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained acute abdominal pain.
