Traumatic Rupture of Normal Spleen due to Vomiting: A Case Report

Abstract

Spleen is one of the most commonly injured organs following blunt abdominal trauma.1 Spontaneous splenic rupture (SSR) usually occurs in a previously diseased spleen, and non-traumatic rupture of the normal spleen is extremely rare.1 The stress of cough and vomiting, leading to the traumatic rupture of the spleen, is very rare.2 We are reporting a traumatic splenic rupture following vomiting, which was subjected to exploratory laparotomy and splenectomy.
