  • Title: [Asymptomatic subcapsular splenic hematoma in infectious mononucleosis (Pfeiffer disease)].
    Author: Stahlknecht T, Majewski A.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1986 Sep; 39(9):264-5. PubMed ID: 3534993.
    Abstract:
    Splenic rupture in infectious mononucleosis (Pfeiffer disease, or glandular fever) is a rare but life-threatening complication. The exact mechanism of rupture of the spleen is unknown to date. A case of a spontaneous, asymptomatic, subcapsular haematoma of the spleen of an eighteen-year old female with infectious mononucleosis is presented with special reference to the echographic findings. A complete remission without any complication was obtained. The contribution of the sonographic examination and follow-up in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis is emphasised.
