: There are very few cases of antenatally diagnosed congenital splenic cyst described in literature. The present case of congenital splenic cyst was first suspected on ultrasound examination at 20 weeks of gestation and followed subsequently. Its exact location in the spleen was found on postnatal ultrasound examination. The aetiology, differential diagnosis, complications and management strategies of this lesion are also discussed .
