摘要

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.
