Abstract
Splenic injury during colonoscopy is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. The case of an 82-year-old male patient with a ruptured spleen after screening colonoscopy is reported. The predisposing risk factors for a laceration of the spleen during colonoscopy are discussed as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.Entities:
