  • Title: [Delayed splenic rupture 13 days post-trauma after initially inconspicuous computed tomography examination].
    Author: Scheyerer MJ, Schoenborn V, Andreisek G, Wanner GA, Werner CM, Simmen HP.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 2013 Jun; 116(6):559-62. PubMed ID: 22824876.
    Abstract:
    Delayed splenic injuries are rare but nevertheless well known and very dangerous complications after blunt abdominal trauma. The highest incidence is reported between four and eight days after trauma; however some cases with a latent period of weeks have been published. We present a case of delayed splenic rupture 13 days after trauma where most computed tomography (CT) examinations were interpreted as normal and present a review of the pathophysiology of delayed rupture, diagnosis and therapy.
