Abstract

Atraumatic splenic rupture is uncommon but it is a life threatening condition because of hypovolemic shock. Early recognition and treatment are the keys to asuccessful outcome. We report a case of atraumatic splenic rupture secondary to chronic pancreatitis treated successfully by splenic artery embolization.
