| Abstract: | Splenic rupture is a rare complication of diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures.Herein,we report for the first time a case of splenic rupture following therapeutic retrograde double-balloon enteroscopy,which occurred in an 85-year-old man who was treated for recurrent mid-intestinal bleeding that resulted from ileal angioectasia.This patient promptly underwent an operation and eventually recovered. |
