Abstract:
The authors conducted a study of the human splenic venous system by corrosion cast. The existence of two main venous territories or lobes separated by an avascular plane is confirmed. Smaller territories or segments, drained systematically by segmentary veins, and also separated by avascular planes, are defined in them. Their number ranged from four to eight, the mean being five segments. Four different ways of confluence of intrasplenic vessels forming the splenic vein are described.
