    Author: Capron JP, Chivrac D, Dupas JL, Rémond A, Ossart JL, Lorriaux A.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1976 Aug; 71(2):308-10. PubMed ID: 1084843.
    Abstract:
    A cirrhotic patient with massive splenic infarction is described. Celiac angiography showed normally opacified splenic artery and vein and a markedly enlarged spleen with large avascular zones. Splenic infarction was associated with the spontaneous disappearance of a syndrome of hypersplenism. The spleen was surgically removed. Histological examination showed multiple thromboses of the small arterial and venous vessels. The cause of this infarct remained unclear.
