Ruptured splenic abscess causing pneumoperitoneum: a rare cause revisited.

Rama Krishna Narra¹, Mary Varunya Jehendran¹.

Abstract

We present a case report of splenic abscess causing pneumoperitoneum in a case of uncontrolled diabetes. The patient presented with chronic pain abdomen and fever which later evolved to acute abdomen during the course of hospital stay. An X-ray showed pneumoperitoneum and exploratory laparotomy was performed under a strong clinical suspicion of hollow viscus perforation. The patient was treated with antibiotics and had an uneventful recovery. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
