Abstract EN
Colonoscopy is a commonly performed procedure for diagnosis and treatment of large bowel diseases.
Recognized complications include bleeding and perforation.
Splenic injury during colonoscopy is a rare complication.
We report a case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with left-sided abdominal pain after colonoscopy with finding of splenic injury on CT scan.
She was managed conservatively.
We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to colonoscopic splenic injury.
