Splenic rupture is a potentially life-threatening condition associated with acute abdominal pain. Although rare, atraumatic spleen rupture (ASR) has been reported. It is not usually considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen so often missed in emergency leading to high morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a 38-year-old male who presented with fever and acute abdominal pain, had atraumatic splenic rupture which was diagnosed early resulting in better outcome of patient.
