Abstract
A woman at 33 weeks' gestation was admitted because of the sudden onse t of signs and symptoms suggestive of placental abruption. The fetal c ardiotocogram was suspicious of fetal distress. Laparotomy revealed a massive hemoperitoneum with splenic rupture, which was managed conserv atively. Both mother and infant had a favorable outcome. We suggest th at splenic conservation is a safe management option in selected cases.
