Abstract
We report a case of ruptured splenic artery aneurysm during labor in which the clinical signs were masked by epidural analgesia. A high index of clini cal suspicion must be maintained in cases of atypical epidural breakthrough pain, and attending clinicians must be prepared for the unexpected when fa ced with a maternal collapse.
