Abstract
Endoscopy of colon and rectum is a commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, which is generally safe although complications such as bleeding and perforation occur. There is, however, a small risk of splenic injury with potentially lethal outcome. We describe a case of splenic injury after sigmoidoscopy in a 48-year-old male.
