    Traumatic splenic cysts can rupture after minor abdominal trauma, causing significant bleeding. Surgical intervention is recommended for ruptured splenic cysts with hemoperitoneum, differing from conservative approaches for typical splenic injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Splenic cysts, often asymptomatic, can develop following abdominal trauma.
    • Rupture of splenic cysts leading to hemoperitoneum is a rare but serious complication.
    • Previous abdominal trauma is implicated in the etiology of splenic cysts.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of traumatic splenic cyst rupture are presented.
    • Patients experienced major hemoperitoneum after minor abdominal trauma.
    • Laparotomy revealed large splenic cysts with extension into healthy splenic tissue.

    Findings:

    • Conservative splenic surgery (cystectomy) was feasible in both cases.
    • Microscopic examination confirmed a true pseudocyst in one case.

  • Ruptured splenic cysts with hemoperitoneum necessitate surgical treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This contrasts with conservative management often used for uncomplicated splenic trauma.
    • Early surgical intervention is crucial for splenic cysts presenting with hemoperitoneum.
    • Accurate diagnosis via ultrasonography is key to guiding appropriate treatment strategies.
