CT confirmation of healing spleen

[Ronald Gross]

Sal,
This image has no blush - but I wonder about the rest of the scan.   Based ONLY on this image, would you have squirted this kid?

Hey Sal,  are you out there?  Have you seen this kind of defect on a healed  
spleen?

Yea, i know....... BUT, as you said, that  was quite the crack to begin with.
Personally, i have never seen such a  large remaining defect. That said, i
learn and see new stuff  everyday.

just catching up. 
 
we have seen patients who ended up healing two separate splenic segments do  
very well, and our patients have some interesting "contact" sports to contend  
with
 
however i must remind that we do empiric angiography and will embolize  
anyone with a angiographic blush. So our experience is kind of different.
