Overview

Causes

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Hematologic disorders - Malignant

Hematologic disorders - Benign

Embolic disorders

  • Paradoxical emboli from right heart
  • Left ventricular mural thrombus following myocardial infarct
  • Infected thoracic aortic graft
  • HIV-associated mycobacterial infections

Vascular disorders

Autoimmune/collagen vascular disease

Trauma

  • Blunt trauma
  • Torsion of the wandering spleen
  • Embolization for splenic bleeding

Infections

Medications

Miscellaneous etiologies

Therapeutic splenic infarction

Splenic infarction can be induced for the treatment of such conditions as portal hypertension or splenic injury[9]. It can also be used prior to splenectomy for the prevention of blood loss.
