Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Surgery

Background:

  • Splenic abscess is an uncommon clinical diagnosis, with fewer than 300 cases reported in the last decade.
  • Trauma can be a predisposing factor for splenic abscess formation, though it is a rare complication.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old female presented with a splenic abscess.
  • The patient had a history of blunt left chest wall trauma sustained two years prior to presentation.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed using ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) imaging.
  • The patient underwent a splenectomy for the splenic abscess.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering splenic abscess in patients with a history of trauma, even with a significant delay.
  • Successful surgical management (splenectomy) can lead to an uneventful recovery.
