Abstract

The paper presents the case of a 33 year old, 24- week pregnant patient who experienced idiopatic rupture of the spleen artery aneurysm. Clinical symptoms and the diagnostic – therapeutic process have been described. A quick surgical intervention made it possible to stabilize the condition of the patient and to save her life. However, the hemorrhagic shock experienced by the mother caused intrauterine fetus necrosis.
