Popis: Rupture of the spleen is a serious medical condition manifesting as a sudden abdominal event, potentially life-threatening. Spontaneous spleen rupture is a rare condition. Atraumatic rupture of the spleen is a very unlikely condition. Risk factors include splenomegaly, hemato-oncological diseases, and infections, such as malaria or infectious mononucleosis. Extremely rare is splenic rupture described in autoimmune disease or vasculitis. There has been no reported case of spontaneous splenic rupture as a first manifestation of Churg- Strauss syndrome so far.
