Abstract

Splenic infarction is rare and occurs when the splenic artery or its branches become occluded, either by an embolus or by in situ thrombosis. In situ thrombosis of splenic artery leading to splenic and pancreatic abscess formation after infarction is rare. We here present a case of a 65-year-old man who was found to have acute complete splenic and distal pancreatic infarction and abscess formation attributable to in situ thrombosis of splenic artery.
