Abstract
Non-traumatic splenic rupture a rare condition in which establishing a positive diagnosis is often difficult, and delayed diagnosis can be life-threatening. The etiologies are multiple and the symptoms are not specific. It is often ultrasound or CT scan that confirms the diagnosis. We will shed light on a case of spontaneous non-traumatic rupture of the spleen revealed by acute psychiatric symptoms.
