Traumatic splenic laceration with delayed rupture secondary to coughing in a patient with Von Willebrand disease - 30/11/21
, Steven Sattler, DO, Robert Gekle, MDAbstract |
We describe the case of a 54-year-old male with Von Willebrand Disease who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with 2 weeks of worsening abdominal pain after falling on his left flank while boating. On his initial presentation, he was found to have a Grade II splenic injury that was managed non operatively by the trauma service. Four days later, he returned to the ED when he developed severe abdominal pain after coughing and was found to have active extravasation from the splenic parenchyma with hemoperitoneum on CT angiography and a grossly positive FAST exam. Intraoperatively, he was found to have a Grade V splenic injury and subsequently underwent splenectomy.
