Splenic infarction is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen4. Causes include hematologic disease (such as leukemia, lymphoma, myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera), thromboembolic disorders, splenic vascular disease, pancreatic disorders, vasculitis, portal hypertension, bacterial endocarditis, sickle cell disease and infiltrative disorders1,3.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE the close anatomic relationship of the pancreas with the splenic vessels and the spleen is responsible for splenic complications in the course of acute pancreatitis. Our objective was to report two cases of severe acute pancreatitis complicated by splenic infarction. PATIENTS in a three-month period of time two patients were diagnosed with splenic infarction secondary...

However, massive splenomegaly is a rare occurrence. Infrequently massive splenomegaly can result in splenic infarction. Massive splenic infarction in sarcoidosis has, to our knowledge, not been previously reported. We present a case...

Pancreatic tail adenocarcinoma is both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Despite technical and therapeutic advances, the prognosis remains dismal; the average survival time after diagnosis is characteristically only five to eight months. Both splenic infarction and abscess are very rare complications of pancreatic cancer. In this case of splenic infarction, the possible source of emboli s...
