A 12- year-old girl was admitted after a bicycle accident, and a grade 4 splenic injury was diagnosed. She became hemodynamically unstable within the first hours after arrival and remained so despite fluid resuscitation and transfusions. As an alternative to laparotomy, sple-nic artery embolization was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery without the need for further transf-usions. Nonoperative management of blunt splenic trauma remains the gold standard in pediatric trauma care. In hemodynamically unstable patients, splenic artery embolization should be considered as an adjunct to that strategy.
