Spontaneous splenic rupture in pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening complication requiring urgent surgical intervention. If it remains unrecognized, it can be fatal for both mother and baby. Herein, we present a case of spontaneous rupture of a normal spleen at 28.4 weeks gestation. Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention can provide maternal and fetal survival. In case of a suspected splenic rupture, urgent exploratory laparotomy via a midline vertical incision to allow visualization of and access to bleeding location should be performed to save mother’s and baby’s lives. Key words: Pregnancy, rupture spontaneous, spleen
