The emergency computed tomography (CT) revealed abscessed appendicitis. We performed a laparoscopic appendectomy and meticulous peritoneal lavage of the right lower quadrant peritonitis. Intravenous antibiotics were prolonged after surgery. Six days after appendectomy, she presented acute signs of hypotensive shock associated with abdominal pain and blood in the pelvic drain. Emergency CT scan revealed splenic rupture with major hemoperitoneum and active splenic bleeding. Embolization of the splenic artery was initially successful, but she relapsed into shock a few hours later. We proceeded to splenectomy. Pathological examination only found inflammation. She was discharged 1 month after the initial operation. Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication of appendicitis with major peritonitis. It must be identified and treated immediately. Colic microbiota could be responsible of acute splenitis and congestion after a bacteremia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab541","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,28]],"date-time":"2021-11-28T20:06:03Z","timestamp":1638129963000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A case of splenic rupture a week after appendectomy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Catherine","family":"Deleuze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Celine","family":"Rasmont","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Todor","family":"Ivanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Brassart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malek","family":"Ghaddab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Romero Stoca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Didier","family":"Hossey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsy-Yeng","family":"Choy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean","family":"Lemaitre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Ambroise Par\u00e9 Hospital, Mons, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021121222245107700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1114","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.6737","article-title":"Systematic review of atraumatic splenic rupture","volume":"96","author":"Renzulli","year":"2009","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"2021121222245107700_ref2","first-page":"211","article-title":"Rotura espl\u00e9nica atraum\u00e1tica secundaria a perforaci\u00f3n apendicular por v\u00f3lvulo de ciego","volume":"87","author":"Men\u00e9ndez-Moreno","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cir Cir"},{"key":"2021121222245107700_ref3","first-page":"e6","article-title":"Splenic rupture in a patient with pelvic abscess and sepsis","volume":"53","author":"John","year":"2012","journal-title":"Singapore Med J"},{"key":"2021121222245107700_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2016.04.018","article-title":"Acute appendiceal abscess and atraumatic splenic rupture: a case of dual pathology","volume":"28","author":"Ananthavarathan","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2021121222245107700_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.4103\/jmas.JMAS_1_20","article-title":"Spontaneous splenic rupture 1 week after laparoscopic appendectomy due to acute appendicitis","volume":"16","author":"Janez","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Minim Access Surg"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2021\/12\/rjab541\/41724276\/rjab541.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2021\/12\/rjab541\/41724276\/rjab541.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,12]],"date-time":"2021-12-12T22:25:01Z","timestamp":1639347901000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjab541\/6459503"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjab541","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2042-8812"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2021,12]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]},"article-number":"rjab541"}}
