| Summary: | <p>Splenic rupture, no matter what the cause is, is associated with significant mortality. It can present either acutely after trauma, or days to weeks later, a situation known as ''delayed splenic rupture (DSR)''.

Cases of ASR of normal spleen have been reported in literature with various cause as far as trauma is concerned.</p><p><br></p> |
