Ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in pregnancy is a serious condition with high mortality rates for both mother and child. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention without delay is essential to avoid a fatal outcome. The diagnosis should be considered in pregnant women with upper abdominal pain. We describe a patient with ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in pregnancy. Both mother and child survived.
Primary peritonitis occurs rarely in childhood. The causative microbe is usually either streptococcus or pneumococcus. However, the incidence of gram negative anaerobic bacteria is increasing. The bacteria are cultured from fluid taken from the abdominal cavity during celiotomy. The abdominal viscera are normal, which excludes secondary peritonitis. We discuss the case of an infant who presented this disease entity.
