Figure 1. Computed tomography scan slice depicting free peritoneal fluid and splenic rupture. The scan showed a high-density, heterogeneous fluid collection at the splenic apex and near the liver, as indicated by the left arrow, suggestive of hemoperitoneum. The enlargement of the spleen and indistinct borders, marked by the right arrow, suggest rupture.
