Abstract

Objective: It is known that the measurement of splenic length in routine clinical practice is a very good indicator of actual splenic size. Knowledge of the normal range of spleen size in the population being examined is a prerequisite. Racial differences in splenic length could result in incorrect interpretation of splenic measurements. The purpo- se of this study was to establish the range of spleen length in a young male Turkish population. Material and Methods: A total of 2179 volunteers, healthy men aged 17-42 years, from the annual Army Reserve Officer Training Corps training camp at Manisa were included in the study. Sonographic measurements of spleen length were performed on 2179 military personnel. Presence of accessory spleen was also determi- ned. In addition, the height, weight, and age of each volunteer were recorded. Using linear regression analysis, the relation of spleen length and body height, weight and body mass index (BMI) was evaluated. Additionally, the prevalence of accessory spleen detected on ultrasound was calculated. Results: The mean±SD height was 173,1±6,5 cm, mean weight 69,1±9,7 kg, and mean BMI 22,62±2,87. Mean spleen length was 10,76±1,8 cm. The length of the spleen was below 12,80 cm in 95% of the subjects. No statistically significant correlation (p<0.01) between spleen length and body height, weight and BMI was found. The prevalence of accessory spleen was determined as 2.5% on ultrasound screening. Conclusion: It was found that in healthy Turkish men, mean spleen length was 10,76±1,8 cm. This data should be taken into consideration when the diagnosis of splenomegaly is established in Turkish males.

Özet

Amaç: Dalak boyutu hematolojik hastalIklarda önemli bir parametredir. Rutin klinik pratikte dalak uzunluğu gerçek dalak boyutunun en iyi göstergesidir. Dalak boyutlarIndaki bölgesel farklIlIklar doğru olmayan dalak ölçümü değerlendirmelerine ve en sIk karşIlaşIlan dalak patolojisi olan splenomegalinin yanlIş yorumlanmasIna neden olabilir. Dalak boyutunun normal aralIğInIn bilinmesi bu durumda önşarttIr. Prospektif çalIşmamIzIn amacI sağlIklI genç erişkin Türk erkeklerinde ortalama dalak uzunluğunun belirlenmesidir. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Mart 1993 ve Ağustos 2006 yIllarI arasInda 161 hastaya allojeneik hematopoetik kök hücre nakli uygulandI. Siklofosfamide bağlI hemorajik sistit gelişimi engelleyebilmek amacIyla profilaktik olarak Mesna, hiperhidrasyon ve zorlu diürez uygulandI. Buna rağmen 161 olgunun 17’si ağIr olmak üzere 49’unda hemorajik sistit gelişti. Tedavi yaklaşImI ve bulgular geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. YaşlarI 17-42 arasInda 2179 sağlIklI genç erişkin asker (Manisa er eğitim merkezi) tarama ultrasongrafisi ile incelendi. OlgularIn yaş, boy, kilolarI, dalak uzunluğu ve aksesuar dalak varlIğI kaydedildi. Lineer regresyon analizi ile olgularIn dalak boyutu ile kilo, boy ve BMI (vücut kitle indeksi)'leri ilişkisi değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olgularda ortalama boy 173,1 cm±(SD) 6,5 cm, ortalama ağIrlIk 69,0 kg±(SD) 9,7 kg, ortalama BMI 22,62± (SD) 2,8. ortalama dalak boyu 10,76 cm±(SD) 1,84 cm bulundu. Dalak uzunluğu ile boy, ağIrlIk ve BMI ara- sInda istatistiki anlamlI bir ilişki saptanmadI. (p < 0.01). ÇalIşma grubumuzdaki olgularIn % 2.5'inde ultrasonografi ile aksesuar dalak saptandI. Sonuç: US tarama ile sağlIklI genç erişkin Türk popülasyonu için dalak boyutu ortalama 10,76 cm bulundu. Türk toplumunda splenomegali değerlendirilirken bu değer göz önünde bulundurulmalIdIr.
