Abstract:
Ischaemia of the greater curve of the stomach is a possible complication of splenectomy. We describe a case in which ischaemia resulted in necrosis and perforation of the stomach in a patient after splenectomy for massive splenomegaly. There are no previously reported cases in the literature.
