Abstract
We present the case of a 20-year-old male who presents multiple traumas of the abdomen 26 days prior to his return to the emergency room. Going again to evaluation with frank data of peritoneal irritation, since there is no hemodynamic commitment, a contrasted abdomen computed tomography (CT) scan is requested, finding a grade III splenic lesion, which is why he is admitted for emergency splenectomy. This case reports a splenic injury with the need for delayed splenectomy.
