Review Case Reports[The "splenic emergency syndrome" during pregnancy (a report of 2 cases)].
The 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. ⋯ 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.
