  • Title: [Value of peroperative scintigraphy in detecting accessory spleens].
    Author: Sezeur A, De Labriolle-Vaylet CL, Douay L, Goujard F, Wioland M, Desmarquet J.
    Journal: Presse Med; 1990 Jun 09; 19(23):1100-2. PubMed ID: 2141414.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of accessory spleen, 1 cm in diameter, responsible for recurrence of an idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura after splenectomy. This case is original in that the accessory spleen could only be detected by transoperative scintigraphy. Transoperative scintigraphy is a simple method to be used when one or several unrecognized accessory spleens are responsible for recurrence of a blood disease after excision of the principal spleen.
