Spontaneous rupture of a malarial spleen is rare with Plasmodium Falciparum species. Most often it is a fatal complication when not diagnosed and treated on time. Here is presented a case of a Moroccan 32-year-old patient who is admitted in the emergency department of Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital, Rabat for spontaneous spleen rupture after returning from a malaria-endemic country.
