A Second Look at Delayed Splenic Rupture
Archives of Surgery, 1977From 1968 to 1976, 314 patients were treated by splenectomy for blunt splenic injuries. Three hundred four of these were operated on within 24 hours. All had typical splenic lacerations with intraperitoneal bleeding from the time of injury. This was true also of seven of the ten operated on after 24 hours.

Delayed splenic rupture: Diagnosed by culdocentesis
Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1977Culdocentesis is a valuable asset in the diagnosis of hemoperitoneum in women. A case report of delayed splenic rupture diagnosed by this means emphasizes its usefulness. When compared to paracentesis and peritoneal lavage, culdocentesis is more rapid, theoretically more sensitive, and easier to perform. It is a valuable diagnostic tool.

Abstract A case is reported of delayed splenic rupture occurring four days after the original trauma of an automobile accident. A study of fifty-eight such cases indicates that approximately 50 per cent occur during the first week after injury and about 25 per cent additional during the first half of the second week.
