description Splenic rupture due to any cause is a life-threatening complication and commonly attributed to trauma. Atraumatic splenic rupture is very rarely reported, and the incidence is currently unknown. Anticoagulants and dual anti-platelet medication can increase the chances of a splenic rupture. Surgical removal of the spleen may be warranted to prevent a life-threatening bleeding. Early identification and intervention are required for most patients as only a few qualify for medical management.
