ABSTRACT

An initial spleen scan performed on a boy following trauma revealed only decreased activity at the lower pole. A second study, 2 days later, showed separation of functional splenic tissue. Splenic rupture was confirmed at surgery. The use of repeat spleen scans in following suspected splenic injury ("delayed rupture") was pointed out.
