Splenic infarction is a rare clinical condition, most often diagnosed by computed tomography. The etiologies are multiple and frequently determine the therapeutic strategy. However, there is no clear consensus regarding the extent of etiological investigations. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with left hypochondrial pain associated with vomiting and fever. Computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of splenic infarction. A splenectomy was performed. The aim of this report is to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic management steps in a case of splenic infarction.
