Spontaneous splenic rupture causing retroperitoneal bleeding occurred after arthroscopy. Diagnosis was confirmed via CT scan, highlighting a rare perioperative complication.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
  • Splenic rupture is a rare but serious complication.
  • Retroperitoneal bleeding requires prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A patient developed retroperitoneal bleeding due to splenic rupture post-arthroscopy.
  • Initial peritoneal lavage was negative.
  • No history of abdominal trauma or abnormal histological findings were noted.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of splenic rupture.
  • The splenic rupture was spontaneous and occurred during the perioperative period.
  • Absence of trauma and normal histology suggest a spontaneous etiology.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the possibility of spontaneous perioperative splenic rupture.
  • It underscores the importance of advanced imaging like CT scans in diagnosing obscure bleeding.
  • Further investigation into the mechanisms of spontaneous splenic rupture during surgery is warranted.
