T W Nichols Jr et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 1981 Mar.

Abstract

Crohn's disease is associated with many local complications. Spontaneous rupture of the spleen secondary to Crohn's colitis with a fistulous tract into the adjacent fixed spleen has never been reported in the literature. A case report and a brief review of spontaneous splenic rupture and colonic perforation in Crohn's disease is presented.
