Splenic infarction (SI) is often associated with circulatory and hematological diseases and infections. Here, we report a rare case of SI in an adult with infectious mononucleosis (IM) caused by the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus. A 31-year-old male with an unremarkable medical history presented with abdominal pain and fever. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed focal SI. The splenic artery branching from the superior mesenteric artery was <5 mm in diameter. The diagnosis of EB virus infection was made based on physical examination and blood test results. As no evidence of cardiogenic disease, malignant lymphoma, or other infections were present, a diagnosis of SI associated with IM was made. A symptomatic treatment was administered, and the splenomegaly and SI improved two weeks after discharge. IM was assumed as the cause of the focal SI.
