Hydatid cysts of the spleen are rare. Our report details a case wherein an 8 -year -old boy with a ruptured splenic hydatid cyst suffered ongoing abdominal pain and shock. Computed Tomography (CT) imaging showed an irregular cyst at the spleen's lower edge with a "floating membranes" sign. Emergency surgery was performed to remove the hydatid cyst and repair the ruptured spleen. During follow-up, the patient was treated with Albendazole orally for 12 months.
