Abstract
Non traumatic, spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare diagnosis. It has various etiologies one of which is
malarial parasite, a common endemic infection seen in India. This is a rare case report of spontaneous
splenic rupture due to malaria infection, successfully managed with emergency splenectomy. High index of suspicion and early
use of ultrasonography in malaria positive patients can lead to early diagnosis with signicant reduction of delay in the denitive
management of patients with spontaneous splenic rupture.
