Özet

Although there are many reports describing spontaneous rupture of either the spleen or the liver, the simultaneous rupture of both organs is a rare event, especially during anticoagulant therapy. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the spleen and liver in a patient on warfarin therapy for deep venous thrombosis.
