  • Title: Arterial splenic calcifications in children with AIDS: two case reports.
    Author: Ghersin E, Montalvo BM.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2002 May; 32(5):387-9. PubMed ID: 11956733.
    Abstract:
    Splenic calcifications in AIDS patients are usually round and result from infections with opportunistic pathogens such as Pneumocystis carinii, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare and Cytomegalovirus. We describe here a remarkable echopattern of the spleen in two pediatric patients, resulting from linear, branching calcifications in the splenic parenchymal arteries. We believe this echopattern represents the ultrasonographic manifestation of an HIV-associated vasculopathy.
