Abstract

Objective: Spleen infarction is a rare disease that is not kept in mind in the differential diagnosis during patient evaluation in the clinic. For this reason, it can be confused with other diseases in the radiological and surgical evaluation of the disease during clinical evaluation. In our study, we wanted to share our experiences in order to facilitate the treatment of the disease in the preoperative period by evaluating the patients with spleen infarction pathology. Material and Method: Patients who underwent splenectomy and pathological examination of the spleen infarction were included in our study. Preoperative spleen infarction risk factors, diagnosis and radiological imaging were evaluated and analyzed. Results: Three (30%) of the patients were female and 7 (70%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 56.6 (range 23-95, median 58). 7 of the patients were operated in elective and 3 in emergency conditions. Splenectomy was performed to patients who were operated in emergency conditions due to invehicle traffic accident, splenic vein thrombosis and stomach perforation. During the preoperative period, 6 patients underwent ultrasonography (USG), and 10 patients with computed tomography (CT). Splenomegaly was detected in 8 (80%) patients. Three of the patients were using anticoagulant therapy. Conclusion: It is a disease that should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis in cases presenting with abdominal pain and considering a pathology related to spleen in imaging methods

Özet

Amaç: Dalak infarktı nadir görülen ve klinikte hasta değerlendirmesi sırasında ayırıcı tanıda ilk planda akılda tutulmayan bir hastalıktır. Bu sebeple klinikte değerlendirme sırasında hastalığın radyolojik ve cerrahi değerlendirmesinde diğer hastalıklar ile karışabilmektedir. Bizde çalışmamızda dalak infarktı patolojisi gelen hastalar değerlendirilerek hastalığın tanısının preoperatif dönemde konularak tedavisinin kolaylaşması için deneyimlerimizi paylaşmak istedik. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tarafımızca opere edildikten sonra patolojisi dalak infaktı gelen hastalar analiz edilerek çalışmaya dahil edildi ve demografik bilgileri, preoperatif dalak infarktı risk faktörleri ile tanı ve radyolojik görüntülemeleri değerlendirilerek analiz edildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 3 (% 30) ü kadın, 7 (%70) si erkekti. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 56,6 (aralık 23-95, ortanca 58) idi. Hastaların 7’sı elektif, 3’ü acil şartlarda operasyona alındı. Acil şartlarda operasyona alınan hastalara araç içi trafik kazası, splenik ven trombozu ve mide perforasyonu sebebi ile splenektomi yapılmıştır. Preoperatif dönemde 6 hastaya Ultrasonografi (USG), 10 hastaya da Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) tetkikleri yapıldı. Splenomegali 8 (% 80) hastada tespit edildi. Hastaların 3’ü antikoagülan tedavi kullanmaktaydı. Sonuç: Karın ağrısı ile başvuran ve görüntüleme yöntemlerinde dalak ile ilgili bir patoloji düşünülen olgularda ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulması gereken bir hastalıktır
