Abstract
Spontaneous rupture rupture in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension is a rare complication; however, the incidence, etiology and risk of rupture have not been established. The diagnosis is confirmed by abdominal imaging or exploratory laparotomy and treatment is essentially surgical. We report a case of atraumatic splenic rupture in a 30-year- old woman with hepatic cirrhosis associated with splenomegaly.
