Overview
The diagnostic study of choice for splenic vein thrombosis is venous phase angiography
Diagnostic study of choice
Venous phase angiography accurately visualizes both the location of splenic vein obstruction and the routes of collateralization.This is a safer alternative than splenoportography, especially in patients with coagulopathy . The diagnosis of splenic vein thrombosis is confirmed on angiography when selective injection of the splenic artery shows nonvisualization of the splenic vein on delayed images. Often venous collaterals in the splenic hilum and dilated gastroepiploic and short gastric veins are also seen
