Conclusion.-We regard localized portal hypertension due to stenosis or obstruction of the splenic vein as one of the consequences of peripancreatic fibrosis in chronic alcoholic pancreatitis.
Six patients who underwent only pancreatoduodenectomy or biopsy were excluded from our study of the splenic vein because surgical specimens did not include the splenic vein as a possible source of localized portal hypertension.
Rignault et al16 found that 9 of 20 patients with chronic pancreatitis had splenic vein thrombosis as demonstrated by splenoportography.

Spontaneous resolution of a splenic torsion has been described in humans (2) but this is the first reported case in a dog according to our knowledge (8).
In healthy dogs the parenchymal splenic veins can be easily found within the spleen by means of two-dimensional ultrasonography.
The direction of the blood flow is changing according to the respiratory cycle.

Currently, the role of transcatheter embolization should be as a planned first stage of a two-stage therapy (embolisation followed by splenectomy).
A second pathway involves the portosystemic collaterals, which develop along the lower end of the oesophagus, with direct connection to the azygous system [48].
When the two conditions coexist, splenectomy should be considered in addition to a shunt procedure [7, 52].

 Encyclopedia: Spleen
A congenital disorder is a medical condition that is present at birth.
It may be removed surgically (known as a splenectomy), and indeed often is. For example, it may be removed following abdominal injuries with rupture and hemorrhage of the spleen, or in the treatment of certain blood diseases (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, familial jaundice, hereditary spherocytosis, etc.), or for the removal of splenic tumours or cysts.
Sickle-cell disease can cause a functional asplenia (or autosplenectomy) by causing infarctions of the spleen during repeated sickle-cell crises.
