ABSTRACT
The clinical, laboratory, and operative findings of nine cases of spontaneous rupture of the spleen due to P.falciparum malaria are presented. They all occurred in a period of six months [October 1993 to March 1994]. No previous reports were found in Sudanese literature. Worldwide, there are a number of case reports mainly due to P. vivax and in non - immune, acutely infected international travelers. Very few cases were due top falciparum. Only 11 cases were reported due to falciparum malaria in a review of literature in the period from 1960 to 1991. A review of the literature is presented with a discussion of possible pathogenesis and various approaches to management
