    AbstractThe syndrome "urgency of lienal origin" during a pregnancy consists of two syndromes--violent spontaneous pain in the left hypochondrium or in the epigastrium, shortly followed by haemorrhagic shock. Occasionally some other symptoms are present--nausea, vomiting, powerless prolonged labor, innervation of the phrenic nerve. The cases of spontaneous spleen rupture as well as ruptures of splenic vein or artery also assessing to this syndrome. Mean maternal mortality is over 70%. The authors present two cases: the first one--a case of spontaneously ruptured splenic artery aneurysm, the second one--of splenic rupture. The first of two cases came of successful for both mother and baby. This is the sixth similar case described in literature till 1978. The second case presented--a spontaneous lienal rupture, is very rare. The favourable prognosis is entirely determined by prompt diagnosis.
