Abstract
We present the case of a 75-year-old man with a history of COVID-19 and splenic infarct treated with enoxaparin, who presented with intense abdominal pain and tomographic findings of free peri-splenic fluid and a hyperdense image in the spleen. An emergency laparotomy was performed, with findings of a splenic rupture at the vascular hilum. Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare and fatal entity that should be suspected in a patient with history of COVID-19 who presents with acute abdominal pain after the administration of heparin.
