Splenic rupture is a medical condition where the spleen, an organ located in the upper left abdomen, tears or breaks open. This can occur due to trauma, such as a car accident or a sports injury, or from underlying conditions like infections or diseases that enlarge the spleen. When the spleen ruptures, it can lead to internal bleeding, which may be life-threatening. Symptoms of a splenic rupture often include severe abdominal pain, dizziness, and signs of shock, such as rapid heartbeat and confusion. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans. Treatment may require surgery to repair or remove the spleen, depending on the severity of the rupture.
