Main Results:

  • Non-invasive imaging is crucial for diagnosing acute splenic abnormalities.
  • Imaging guides decisions for conservative, interventional, or surgical care.
  • Modern approaches prioritize spleen preservation.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis via imaging is key for pediatric splenic emergencies.
  • Spleen-preserving strategies are increasingly favored.
  • Management decisions are guided by imaging findings and the need for immunocompetence.
