Abstrakt: Background: The management of a pregnant patient with splenic injury needs to be individualized, and conservative management can be opted for in certain cases. Case: A 23-year-old, gravida 3, para2, live 2, woman at 17 weeks +5 days pregnancy presented with pain in her abdomen after a fall while working at home. An ultrasound of her abdomen highlighted a subcapsular splenic hematoma on the costal surface with a hemoperitoneum. She was managed conservatively with strict vital monitoring and blood transfusion and was discharged after 4 days. Results: The patient was able to continue her pregnancy and, at 39 weeks of gestation, delivered a healthy baby. Conclusions: Conservative management can be offered to hemodynamically stable pregnant patients with splenic injuries. (J GYNECOL SURG 36:147) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
