Article Abstract

Spontaneous splenic rupture in the extra-Baudet period is a rare phenomenon demanding a high clinical suspicion for diagnosis with prompt treatment. We present a case of a 39-year-old male presenting with left upper abdominal pain following six months after abdominal trauma. The patient underwent imaging studies showing a large subcapsular splenic hematoma with near-total parenchymal displacement and moderate hemoperitoneum. Sequential scans revealed a non-progressive resolving hematoma with no active extravasation. The patient underwent aggressive initial resuscitation followed by successful conservative management and was discharged.
