Abstract:
Traumatic injury of the spleen is rare in newborns. Nonoperative management of pediatric splenic injuries is now recognized as the treatment of choice, but there is scant experience with the problem in neonates. The authors report their experience with a neonatal splenic rupture, managed nonoperatively.
