A 70-year-old male developed a rare complication—splenic rupture—following an exploratory colonoscopy, which included polypectomy. Several hours post-procedure, he experienced severe abdominal pain, and a CT scan revealed a splenic rupture with significant bleeding. The patient received blood transfusions and underwent an urgent splenectomy, recovering without issues.

Post-colonoscopy splenic rupture is an extremely rare but serious complication, often presenting 24-72 hours after the procedure, particularly following polypectomy. Management depends on the patient's hemodynamic stability, with splenectomy required in unstable cases
