Abstract
A spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare entity. The classic treatment remains splenectomy but several recent works has highlighted the value of conservative treatment. We report the case of a young man who had a spontaneous spleen rupture in association with idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura and who benefited from a conservative treatment.
