Abstract
Blunt abdominal trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children and the spleen is the most frequently affected solid organ. Splenic conservation has become the accepted treatment for splenic blunt trauma. We report a case of a successful conservative approach with a consequent uncommon complication. The emphasis of this case lies in the fact that despite surgical intervention required to treat the splenic pseudocyst it was possible to preserve this important organ, especially in the paediatric age.
