Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm in the third trimester of pregnancy is a catastrophic event associated with a very high fetal and maternal mortality rate. There are only five reported instances of both maternal and fetal survival after spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm. This report not only documents the sixth such case, but also recommends a different therapeutic approach for the management of such cases.
