splenic

The splenic vein which is embedded in the pancreas is identified.

Splenic involvement has been reported in about 40% cases of multisystem sarcoidosis [6], but isolated splenic involvement in sarcoidosis without any radiographic or clinical pulmonary involvement is extremely rare [7].

Admitted patients with the diagnosis of splenic abscess were collected over a period of 5 years (from January 2012 to December 2016).

CT ofthe abdomen and pelvis demonstrated moderate hemoperitoneum with splenic laceration (Figures 1, 2, and 3).

Splenic rupture is one of the most serious complications of infectious mononucleosis and occurs in only 0.1% of patients [3].

Most publications on the subject are case reports and small case series of embolization of large or middle calibre splanchnic arteries, respectively, the splenic, hepatic, gastroduodenal, gastroepiploic, or pancreaticoduodenal arteries [2, 5].

The splenic artery may have two, three, four, and five terminal branches or enter the splenic tissue without branching.

In Warshaw's technique, the spleen blood supply relies on the short gastric vessels and the left gastroepiploic artery which undertake the arterial flow instead of the ligated splenic vessels [7].

Our previous research has found that Th2-like response was induced in the splenic NK cells of S.

Two trunks arose separately from a very short CMT: 1) the gastro-splenic trunk divided into the left gastric artery and the splenic artery; and 2) the hepatomesenteric trunk divided into the common hepatic artery and the superior mesenteric artery.

Abdominal X-ray showed a tortuous tubular radiopaque image fixed on the left-upper quadrant (Figure 1a); computed tomography revealed isolated calcification of the splenic artery (Figure 1b).
