4. Introduction
Anatomy
The spleen is a purplish, soft, vascular organ of the
lymphatic system.
The spleen varies amongst individual, but it’s commonly
oval/fist-shaped and is about 1 inch thick, 3 inches wide, 4-5
inches long, and weighs 7 ounces.
A layer of tissue entirely covers the spleen in a capsule-like
fashion.
5. Introduction
Situated in the left hypochondriac region of the abdominal body
cavity, between the stomach, and the
diaphragm.
The spleen is protected by the ribs
(9th-12th)
6. Anteriorly - the stomach, and tail
of pancreas.
Posteriorly - the left part of the
diaphragm, which separates it
from the lung and ribs.
Inferiorly - the left colic flexure.
Medially - the left kidney.
7. Introduction
Function
The spleen have multiple supportive roles in the body;
The spleen is the storage place for red blood cells.
Removes old and damaged red blood cells and recycle
minerals.
Produce lymphocytes that aid our body immune system.
Act as reservoir of blood in times of shock.
8. Facts…. not Fiction!!!
The spleen is the largest organ in the lymphatic system.
A person can survive well without their spleen.
The spleen is protected by the ribs... So you cannot feel it... if you
can.. you are probably sick... GET HELP!!.
No one likes a spleenful person!!

10. Spleen Ultrasonography
Some common indication for splenic ultrasound includes;
Splenomegaly
Blunt abdominal trauma
Left abdominal mass
Left upper abdominal pain
Jaundice combined with anaemia
Ascites or localized intra-abdominal fluid
Suspected subphrenic abscess
Suspected malignancy
Liver disease
11. Spleen Ultrasonography
Procedure
a) Preparation
Patient should take nothing by mouth for 8 hours preceding the
examination.
If fluid is essential to prevent dehydration, only water should be
given.
Infants should be given nothing by mouth
for 3 hours preceding the examination
12. Spleen Ultrasonography
b) Position
The patient should be supine initially and later on the right side.
Apply coupling agent liberally over the left lower chest, the
upper abdomen and left flank
The patient should take a deep breath and hold it in when a
specific area is being scanned.
13. Spleen Ultrasonography
When the spleen is normal in size, it can be difficult to image
completely.
The splenic hilus is the reference point to ensure correct
identification of the spleen.
It is also important to identify the left diaphragm and the upper
edge of the spleen.
14. Spleen Ultrasonography
Sonographic appearance of a normal spleen
The spleen should show a uniform homogenous echo pattern. It is slightly
less echogenic than the liver.
Markedly hyperechoic compared to kidney tissue
Its outer convexity is smooth, whereas the inner margin may be indented or
nodulous
20. Spleen Pathology
Splenic Rupture
A ruptured spleen occurs when the capsule-like covering of the spleen
breaks open, pouring blood into your abdominal area.
The spleen most frequently rupture when the abdomen suffers a
severe direct blow or blunt trauma.
Motor vehicle accidents
Injury during contact sports
Bicycle accidents,
Domestic violence
22. Spleen Pathology
Symptoms of a Ruptured Spleen
Pain may be felt in these locations:
Left side of the abdomen under the rib cage
Left shoulder
Internal bleeding caused by the ruptured spleen can cause blood pressure to
drop. This can cause:
Blurred vision
Light-headedness
Signs of shock
23.
24. Spleen Pathology
Sonographic appearance of a rupture spleen
The primary goal is to detect the presence of blood in the left
hypochondria region.
Some signs of splenic rupture on an ultrasound image are as follows:
Acute blood is hypoechoic and can be almost anechoic.
Due to coagulation in the formation of a hemorrhage,
echogenicity increases as the thrombus condenses.
25. Spleen Pathology
Sonographic appearance continue…
Sonographic patterns included a heterogeneous appearance,
hyperechoic and hypoechoic perisplenic crescents,
hypoechoic or hyperechoic areas within the spleen.
26.
27. Spleen Pathology
Splenic Hemangioma
A hemangioma is a slow-growing neoplasm consisting of an
overgrowth of new blood vessels.
The most common type of benign mass that might develop on the
spleen but it is a rare disorder.
The hemangioma looks like a solid cluster with open spaces located
within the mass.
The benign growth will have rounded and defined edges
28. Spleen Pathology
Symptom of Splenic Hemangioma;
The vast majority are asymptomatic and are accidentally discovered.
Occasionally they may be associated with;
Splenomegaly,
Abdominal pain,
Dyspnea,
Nausea.
Splenic rupture cause
by Hemangioma
29. Spleen Pathology
Sonographic appearance of splenic hemangiomas
Hemangiomas can have a variety of sonographic appearances
depending on their exact histological composition (i.e. hypo, iso or
hyper echoic).
The dominant pattern however is considered to be a homogeneous
echotexture that is predominantly hyperechoic and well-defined.
Rarely, contain cystic areas.
