Abstract
Colonoscopy is the gold standard for the study of colorectal pathology. Splenic injury is a rare but potentially fatal complication to consider. Therefore, we present two cases whose management was different and we show their clinical presentation, their diagnosis and their treatment in order to recognize this complication early to establish early treatment.
