ABSTRACT: A 33-year-old primigravida presented to an
appointment at a high-risk prenatal outpatient service due to a history of
splenomegaly. Her spleen occupied of the abdominal cavity and shifted the uterus
to the right side of the abdomen. During investigation, an intrauterine growth
restriction (IURG) and a series of other clinical complications were
discovered. We admitted her to inpatient care at 28 + 1 weeks’ gestation for a better investigation of her extensive splenomegaly and for
pregnancy monitoring, with a further successful delivery.
