    Author: Lică I, Venter MD, Mehic R, Marian R, Ionescu G.
    Journal: Chirurgia (Bucur); 1997; 92(3):205-10. PubMed ID: 9289270.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a case of delayed rupture of the spleen in a polytraumatised patient. This entity was defined as a late occurrence of signs and symptoms attributed to splenic injury not detected by diagnostic computed tomographic scanning during the initial examination. The mechanisms in which the delayed rupture of the spleen occurs are discussed and the conclusion is that the delayed rupture of the spleen represent a real clinical entity.
