    Abstract:
    A spontaneous splenic rupture occurred in a 31 year old patient suffering from infectious mononucleosis. An echography and an abdominal CT Scan revealed a rupture of the inferior pole of the spleen with a hemoperitoneum. A conservative surgical treatment was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful. This case-report draws the attention to the possibility of a conservative surgical treatment of a splenic rupture in the course of infectious mononucleosis. This attitude avoids the complications of splenectomy.
