  • Title: Scintigraphic follow-up of splenic rupture.
    Author: Solheim K, Nerdrum HJ.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1985 Dec; 10(12):851-4. PubMed ID: 4075682.
    Abstract:
    Scintigraphic and clinical follow-up were performed one to six years after splenic rupture in 49 patients. Splenosis was found in 11 of 12 patients subjected to splenectomy. In six patients subjected to splenic repair, and in 31 patients managed nonoperatively, the scan was normal or almost normal. Scintigraphy is a useful tool in follow-up of patients with splenic injuries. Splenosis is common after splenectomy only for trauma; and pseudocyst development must be very rare in patients managed nonoperatively for splenic rupture.
