title: [Post-traumatic hemoperitoneum: a rare complication of peritoneal splenosis].
abstract: Peritoneal splenosis is a frequent condition after traumatic spleen fracture, which, given that it is usually asymptomatic, is often not diagnosed unless a laparotomy is performed for some other reason. The case is presented of a 9 year old boy splenectomized a few years earlier because of traumatism, who again suffers abdominal injury with the development of hemoperitoneum, observing during surgery multiple splenosis foci disseminated all over the abdominal cavity, some of which present rupture and hemorrhage, constituting the cause of hemoperitoneum.
