Splenic infarction, a rare condition, can manifest as abdominal pain and is linked to atrial fibrillation. Early diagnosis via imaging and conservative treatment are key for favorable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Radiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Splenic infarction is an uncommon condition often secondary to embolic events.
  • Atrial fibrillation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are potential risk factors for splenic infarction.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old male presented with persistent left upper quadrant pain, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and leukocytosis.
  • Abdominal computed tomography (CAT) and arteriography confirmed splenic infarction, while echocardiography was normal.

Findings:

  • The patient's splenic infarction was attributed to atrial fibrillation and non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Conservative medical management led to a satisfactory patient outcome.

Implications:

  • Splenic infarction should be considered in patients presenting with left hypochondrium pain.
  • Diagnosis relies on imaging modalities like CAT, arteriography, and hepatosplenic gammagraphy.
  • Initial medical management is recommended, with surgery reserved for complicated or unclear cases.
