摘要
Abstract: Although traumatic injuries are the cause of common splenic emergencies in the emergency room, various nontraumatic conditions may also affect the spleen with possible life-threatening results. In this pictorial review, we present imaging findings of usual and unusual splenic emergencies. It is essential to be familiar with key imaging findings and advantages of different modalities to reach a definitive diagnosis. Teaching points: • Delayed splenic rupture is commonly related to subcapsular hematoma. • Subtle haemorrhage is commonly restricted to the site of injury “sentinel clot sign”. • The whorled appearance is the key imaging feature of splenic torsion. © 2016, The Author(s).
