Introduction

Rupture of spleen is a very rare complicating event during pregnancy and post caesarian section. Approximately 5%of cases reported have involved postpartum period, unrecognized, this condition is very fatal. Spontaneous splenic rupture during pregnancy is usually associated with underlying pathologic conditions including preeclampsia, trauma, perisplenic adhesions, or disease that might adversely affect the spleen and the lack of a preexistent anatomic abnormality within the substance of the spleen should be excluded.
