Abstract
|
|
|
|
We present the case of a 27-year-old female who presented in hypovolemic shock due to splenic rupture without apparent cause. The patient underwent an open splenectomy followed by an uneventful recovery. Post-operatively the patient could recall no trauma, and exams for viral and neoplastic etiologies were unrevealing. Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare condition requiring a high index of suspicion, and patients should be managed with prompt splenectomy.
