초록
In malaria, splenic rupture is a serious complication potentially leading to death. Subcapsular hemorrhage of spleen is thought to be an impending sign of splenic rupture; however, the characteristics of subcapsular hemorrhage are not well known. We report 3 cases of subcapsular hemorrhage of the spleen in vivax malaria, with varying degrees of se- verity. Case 1 showed subcapsular hemorrhage without splenic rupture, was treated by antimalarial drug without any pro- cedure. The healing process of the patient's spleen was monitored through 6 computed tomography follow-up examina- tions, over 118 days. Case 2 presented subcapsular hemorrhage with splenic rupture, treated only with an antimalarial drug. Case 3 showed subcapsular hemorrhage with splenic rupture and hypotension, treated using splenic artery emboli- zation. They all recovered from subcapsular hemorrhage without any other complications. These 3 cases reveal the pro- cess of subcapsular hemorrhage leading to rupture and a potentially fatal outcome. The treatment plan of subcapsular hemorrhage should be determined carefully considering the vital signs, changes in hemoglobin, and bleeding tendency.
Abstract
In malaria, splenic rupture is a serious complication potentially leading to death. Subcapsular hemorrhage of spleen is thought to be an impending sign of splenic rupture; however, the characteristics of subcapsular hemorrhage are not well known. We report 3 cases of subcapsular hemorrhage of the spleen in vivax malaria, with varying degrees of se- verity. Case 1 showed subcapsular hemorrhage without splenic rupture, was treated by antimalarial drug without any pro- cedure. The healing process of the patient's spleen was monitored through 6 computed tomography follow-up examina- tions, over 118 days. Case 2 presented subcapsular hemorrhage with splenic rupture, treated only with an antimalarial drug. Case 3 showed subcapsular hemorrhage with splenic rupture and hypotension, treated using splenic artery emboli- zation. They all recovered from subcapsular hemorrhage without any other complications. These 3 cases reveal the pro- cess of subcapsular hemorrhage leading to rupture and a potentially fatal outcome. The treatment plan of subcapsular hemorrhage should be determined carefully considering the vital signs, changes in hemoglobin, and bleeding tendency.
