    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Context:

    • Spontaneous rupture of splenic vessels (artery or vein) or spleen during pregnancy is a rare but critical obstetric emergency.
    • A review of 150 cases from world literature was conducted to analyze this condition.
    • Immediate maternal life threat necessitates prompt diagnosis and management.

    Purpose:

    • To identify clinical and paraclinical factors for early surgical intervention in pregnancy-related splenic emergencies.
    • To review the management and outcomes of splenic rupture during or after labor.
    • To assess the long-term prognosis following successful treatment.

    Summary:

    • This study reviews 150 cases of spontaneous splenic vessel or spleen rupture associated with pregnancy.
    • Clinical and paraclinical indicators for timely surgical intervention were investigated.
    • Splenectomy is presented as the cornerstone of surgical treatment for these emergencies.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the critical nature of splenic rupture during pregnancy and the need for rapid surgical response.
    • Emphasizes that splenectomy is the primary treatment, leading to good maternal survival rates.
    • Suggests a favorable general and obstetric prognosis for mothers who survive the acute event.
