Splenosis causing small bowel obstruction on CT scan
Splenosis causing small bowel obstruction on CT scan
A CT scan reformatted in the coronal plane (A) shows an empty splenic bed (short arrow), multiple peritoneal nodules (arrowheads), and dilated small bowel (dashed arrow). An axial image through the abdomen (B) shows multiple splenic peritoneal implants (arrowheads), dilated upstream small bowel (dashed arrow), and decompressed distal small bowel (arrow).
CT: computed tomography; SBO: small bowel obstruction.
