Symptoms of SPLENIC INFARCTION
Splenic infarction is associated with the rapid onset of sharp, stabbing pain in the left upper abdomen. Breathing frequently will aggravate the pain. Irritation of the adjacent diaphragm may produce left shoulder pain. If the spleen should rupture, generalized abdominal pain occurs. Significant loss of blood may produce shock and anemia, with shortness of breath, fatigue, rapid heart rate and pallor.
