| Popis: | Objectives: The aim of this study was to define theincidence and classify locations of accessory spleen using CT in a largeTurkish population and to compare our findings with earlier studies performedin other populations. Methods: A total of 930 patients were included in the studyand evaluated retrospectively using CT. The CT images were obtained usingPhilips Ingenuity 128 slice computerized tomography device. Results: 930 patients (413 females, 44.4%; 517 males, 55.6%)who underwent CT imaging for various indications were included in this study.Out of these, 55 had an accessory spleen (5.9%), and four had polysplenia. Mostcommon location of accessory spleen was hilum (49.9%) followed by thegastrosplenic ligament (21.81%),infrasplenic area (18.18%), pancreatic tail (3.64%), splenorenal ligament(3.64%) and suprasplenic area (3.64%).Conclusion: Accessory spleen is a common variationencountered in the abdominal cavity. Most and least common locations of thisvariation should be well known to prevent radiologic misdiagnosis and surgicalcomplications. |
