Abstract
- Splenic complications may occur during the course of pancreatitis, as the pancreas and spleen lie adjacent to each other. However, splenic complications associated with pancreatitis are rare, including splenic vein thrombosis, arterial pseudoaneurysm, subcapsular splenic hematoma, and splenic rupture. The management for subcapsular splenic hematoma with pancreatitis remains controversial. We report a case of a 51-year-old man with alcoholic pancreatitis and the rare complication of a large subcapsular splenic hematoma, which was managed conservatively with a good outcome.
