Spontaneous splenic rupture is rare, often linked to underlying conditions. This case series highlights two distinct causes: warfarin use and splenic hemangioma, emphasizing diverse etiologies for this critical event.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Pathology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Non-traumatic splenic rupture is an uncommon clinical presentation.
  • Various predisposing factors have been identified, including hematological disorders, infections, and malignancies.

Observation:

  • This report details two unique cases of spontaneous splenic rupture.
  • One patient experienced rupture while on warfarin therapy.
  • The second patient had a ruptured splenic hemangioma.

Findings:

  • The study underscores that spontaneous splenic rupture can occur in patients on anticoagulant therapy like warfarin.
  • It also identifies splenic hemangioma as a potential cause of non-traumatic spleen rupture.
  • These cases expand the known spectrum of splenic rupture etiologies.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider spontaneous splenic rupture in patients presenting with abdominal pain, especially those with risk factors or on anticoagulation.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes in splenic rupture.
  • Further research into the mechanisms of spontaneous splenic rupture is warranted.
