  • Title: Pancreatitis-associated fluid collections involving the spleen: sonographic and computed tomographic appearance.
    Author: Vick CW, Simeone JF, Ferrucci JT, Wittenberg J, Mueller PR.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1981; 6(3):247-50. PubMed ID: 7308699.
    Abstract:
    The clinical and radiographic features of 2 patients with dissecting pancreatitis-associated fluid collections involving the spleen are described. A typical appearance of left upper quadrant fluid collection lateral to the splenic pulp was observed by ultrasonography (US) or computed body tomography (CBT). Although these findings are nonspecific, a left upper quadrant fluid collection may be characterized definitively by US/CBT-guided needle aspiration.
