Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 11
Abstract
ABSTRACT Splenic laceration antepartum or postpartum is a rare, frequently misdiagnosed and potentially catastrophic pathology that can lead to high maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. It is therefore, imperative that a differential diagnosis of spleen related pathology or event as in splenic rupture or splenic artery aneurysm should be kept in mind in any woman presenting with upper abdominal pain or in shock during pregnancy.
