  • Title: Pseudocyst in splenic hilus with splenic vein thrombosis. Case presentation and review.
    Author: Engel A, Adler OB, Keidar S.
    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 1987 Aug; 7(3):213-5. PubMed ID: 3653116.
    Abstract:
    Pseudocyst of the pancreas involving the spleen is a rare event; occlusion of splenic vein is even rarer. The mortality rate of these complications is high and therefore necessitates early diagnosis. Nuclear medicine, ultrasound and computed tomography are helpful, but definitive diagnosis is done by selective celiac or splenic artery arteriography. A case of splenic vein thrombosis due to pancreatic pseudocyst is presented and the literature on splenic involvement by pseudocyst is reviewed.
