Spontaneous splenic hemorrhage in the newborn is a rare entity. The presentation is usually with a triad of bleeding, abdominal distension, and hemoperitoneum. Rapid diagnosis is essential as left untreated, death is inevitable. We present a case with an unusual initial presentation of a scrotal hematocele and ultrasonography suggesting an adrenal hemorrhage. At laparotomy, splenic preservation was unsuccessful, and therefore, splenectomy was performed. The child recovered well from the procedure.

“…The underlying cause for the bleeding is highly variable. One case describes maternal trauma prior to delivery as the possible cause for splenic damage, 6 but most cases assume the delivery itself was the inciting event, especially in the case of a traumatic or difficult delivery, 2,7-9 an intrinsic bleeding disorder such as hemophilia A 10-12 or other clinical entities such as a wandering spleen, 13 splenic hemangioendothelioma, 14 and splenomegaly caused by erythroblastosis fetalis. 15 Many cases are idiopathic, 2,4 with no cause identified, such as this case.…”

“…The operative options in management of splenoptosis include splenectomy or splenopexy with most recent reports favouring the latter thus preserving splenic function [1,[17][18][19]. Techniques include direct suture of the capsule or hilum to the abdominal wall or formation of a splenic pocket using peritoneum, absorbable or synthetic mesh [1].…”

Splenoptosis is a rare condition in children. Its association with a cyst is rare. A case of splenoptosis complicated by a large cyst is reported. The child presented with features of intermittent abdominal pain, constipation and clinical examination revealed a mass apparently rising out of the pelvis. Ultrasound confirmed the mass as spleen with a 15 cm cyst in the lower pole. At surgery the cyst was marsupialised and splenopexy undertaken placing the cyst in a retro-peritoneal pouch. This is only the second report of such a case in the English literature.
