Splenic Mechanisms in the Pathogenesis of Anaemia.

Splenic Artery Aneurysms

[Embolization of the splenic artery after splenic gunshot wound].

Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen is a reliable method for evaluation of spleen injuries and has the potential to exclude further abdominal injuries. Blunt and penetrating injuries of the spleen have to be managed immediately due to a high mortality rate. Two therapeutical options, conservative or operative, are currently available. In general, a hemodynamic stable patient, no further inj...

Haemolytic anaemia associated with splenic haemangiomata.

We describe a 33 year old woman who developed unexplained haemolytic anaemia following renal transplantation and who was found to have multiple splenic haemangiomata. This case demonstrates that splenic haemangiomata may be a cause of haemolytic anaemia in the absence of abnormalities in coagulation.

[Aneurysm of the splenic artery].

The authors describe in their paper possibilities of surgical and intervention treatment of an aneurysm of the lienal artery, their advantages and disadvantages. They evaluate the results of treatment of aneurysms of the lienal artery in three patients treated at the Second Surgical Clinic in Brno in 1993-1996. In the first patient the aneurysm was resected concurrently with splenectomy. In the...
