This study aimed to determine the outcome of treatment in patients with splenic cyst. Methods: All patients with splenic cyst who had been treated in Department o...

We tested the hypothesis that central angiotensin II (ANG II) administration would activate splenic sympathetic nerve discharge (SND), which in turn would alter splenic cytokine gene expression. Experiments were completed in sinoaortic nerve-lesioned, urethane-chloralose-anesthetized, splenic nerve-intact (splenic-intact) and splenic nerve-lesioned (splenic-denervated) Sprague-Dawley rats. Sple...

Splenic complications are rare in cases of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Splenic complications associated with acute and chronic pancreatitis include splenic vein thrombosis, arterial pseudoaneurysms, splenic hematoma and splenic rupture. Splenic hematoma is a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis when compared with traumatic origin of subcapsular hematoma. Local factors such as t...

SUMMARY‏ The non parasitic benign cysts of spleen are rare iesions and can he divided into two groups, primary and secondary. In the cysts in the primary group an epithelial lining is present. Secondary cysts are far more frequent, accounting for 80% of all splenic cyst. ln this article we report about an 23 year old girl admitted with LLQ pain and feeling of abdominal mass. After splenectomy ...
