Abstract

Splenic ruptures secondary to infection are rare, life threatening and difficult to diagnose. The main management is surgery, however non-operative management in the stable patient is possible. We report the case of a 60-yr-woman with spontaneous splenic rupture during CMV primary infection. Non-operative treatment failed and splenectomy was done.
