Abstract
The spontaneous rupture of the spleen in pregnancy is rare and is frequently misdiagnosed. Failure to recognize the condition can be fatal to mother and foetus at least in a peripheral hospital. In the last trimester of pregnancy it is easily confused with rupture of uterus or abruptio placenta.
