Splenic rupture

Discussion:

This case illustrates a splenic rupture of unknown cause, presumed atraumatic. The patient has mentioned a history of massage one day ago but referred it was a more relaxing and not strong message. No evidence of splenomegaly or other underlying condition to explain the spontaneous rupture. 

The patient was considered with a borderline hemodynamic instability, and a splenic artery embolization was proposed as the treatment.
