Decreased splenic perfusion without functional asplenia.

R P Spencer, J J Sziklas, K Suresh

    Clinical Nuclear Medicine
    |May 1, 1979

    Summary

    Reduced splenic perfusion does not always mean impaired splenic function. Two cases show that even with low blood flow, the spleen can still extract radiocolloid, demonstrating a dissociation between splenic blood flow and function.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Radiology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Functional asplenia is often linked to reduced splenic blood flow.
    • Understanding splenic function is crucial for diagnosing and managing various medical conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with significantly decreased splenic perfusion.
    • Despite reduced blood flow, both patients exhibited normal splenic extraction of radiocolloid.

    Findings:

    • Splenic blood flow and radiocolloid extraction are distinct processes.
    • Reduced splenic perfusion does not invariably indicate impaired splenic function.

    Implications:

    • Challenges the assumption that decreased splenic perfusion equates to functional asplenia.
