(a) Subcapsular splenic hematoma. The spleen (arrowhead) is displaced by
high-density fluid (Hounsfield unit of 69, arrow) consistent with a
loculated hematoma underneath the splenic capsule. (b) Splenic laceration.
There is a linear defect in the spleen (arrow) measuring 1.2 cm in depth
representing a splenic laceration. (c) Hemoperitoneum. There is free fluid
(arrow) in the peritoneal cavity that displays a Hounsfield unit of 65
consistent with blood, in contrast to the fluid content of the bladder
(arrowhead) which has a Hounsfield unit of 15.

A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis was performed which demonstrated a 1.2 cm posterior inferior splenic laceration with a 7.6 x 3.4 cm subcapsular splenic hematoma and a moderate hemoperitoneum (Figure 1).
