Spleen cyst is a rare pathology and is found in 0.07-1% of cases. The disease is characterized by an asymptomatic course. As the size of the cyst increases, even small trauma can cause rupture of the spleen, leading to severe parenchymal hemorrhage and rapid development of post-hemorrhagic shock. Urgent surgical treatment in this case has no alternative.
With modern diagnostic technology, timely diagnosis and timely initiation of appropriate treatment are relatively easy and especially important to avoid the development of life-threatening complications.
The article cites two cases of traumatic cystic altered spleen injury from clinical practice. Both patients underwent emergency surgery. In one case, a resection of the spleen was performed, and in the other - a splenectomy.
