ABSTRACT
We present a case of atraumatic splenic rupture secondary to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in a woman in her early 50s. The patient initially presented with sepsis secondary to pneumonia but then developed abdominal pain and distension. CT revealed splenic rupture with a significant perisplenic hematoma. Laboratory tests confirmed an EBV infection. Owing to frailty, she underwent fluoroscopy-guided splenic artery embolisation. This case highlights the rare risk of splenic rupture following EBV infection, even in the absence of typical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis.
