Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with splenic vein thrombosis. Ultrasound is the initial test for diagnosing splenic vein thrombosis, accuracy may be limited by size or location of veins.
Echocardiographic findings
There are no echocardiography findings associated with splenic vein thrombosis
Ultrasound findings
Ultrasound is the initial test for diagnosing splenic vein thrombosis, accuracy may be limited by size or location of veins.[1]
- Endoscopic ultrasound appears to be a more accurate test than trans abdominal ultrasound for assessing
patency of the splenic vein. Because endoscopic ultrasound is a sensitive imaging tool for assessing small pancreatic cancers and determining vascular invasion, it should be considered when other tests have failed to confirm splenic vein thrombosis as a cause of bleeding gastric or gastroesophageal varices.
- It should also be considered in cases of splenic vein thrombosis occurring without a history of chronic pancreatitis to evaluate pancreatic carcinoma as a potential cause of splenic vein thrombosis.
