Delayed splenic rupture 4 months following minor blunt abdominal traumaChatzipetrou Maria, Tzanakis Nickolaos, Giannopoulos George and Kornaropoulos Michail* Chatzipetrou Maria Tzanakis Nickolaos Giannopoulos GeorgeKornaropoulos Michail<p>Splenic rupture, no matter what the cause is, is associated with significant mortality. It can present either acutely after trauma, or days to weeks later, a situation known as ‘’delayed splenic rupture (DSR)’’. On the other hand, splenic rupture without trauma history occurs mainly in a pathologically altered spleen, a rare situation called atraumatic splenic rupture (ASR). Cases of ASR of normal spleen have been reported in literature with various cause as far as trauma is concerned.</p><p><br></p> Global Journal of Rare Diseases - Peertechz Publications 2021-05-13 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2640-7876.000029 en Copyright © Chatzipetrou Maria et al.
