| splenic leukaemia | A form of leukaemia in which there is an unusually great degree of enlargement of the spleen, as observed frequently in chronic granulocytic leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| splenic lymph follicles | Small nodular masses of lymphoid tissue attached to the sides of the smaller arterial branches. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici lienales, malpighian bodies, malpighian corpuscles, malpighian glands, malpighian nodules, splenic corpuscles, splenic lymph nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic lymph nodes | Nodes near the hilum of the spleen; they receive afferents from the spleen and stomach, and send efferents to the pancreatic-postsplenic and coeliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici splenici, nodi lymphatici lienales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic lymph nodules | Small nodular masses of lymphoid tissue attached to the sides of the smaller arterial branches. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici lienales, malpighian bodies, malpighian corpuscles, malpighian glands, malpighian nodules, splenic corpuscles, splenic lymph nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic plexus | The plexus of autonomic nerves along the splenic artery. Synonym: plexus lienalis, plexus splenicus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic portal venography | Introduction of radiopaque material into the spleen to obtain an X-ray visualization of the portal vessel of the portal circulation. Synonym: splenic portal venography. Origin: spleno-+ portography (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic pulp | The soft cellular substance of the spleen. Synonym: pulpa splenica, pulpa lienis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic recess | The extension of the omental bursa toward the hilum of the spleen. Synonym: recessus splenicus, recessus lienalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic rupture | A term usually used to describe the result of blunt injury to the spleen. In this case, there will be laceration and haemorrhage from the spleen. This type of injury is most often seen in motor vehicle accidents. A rare form of spontaneous splenic rupture has been known to occur with mononucleosis and other disease processes which cause splenic enlargement (leukaemia). (27 Sep 1997) |
| splenic sinus | An elongated venous channel, 12 to 40 um wide, lined by rod-shaped cells. Synonym: sinus lienis. Straight sinus, an unpaired dural venous sinus in the posterior part of the falx cerebri where it is attached to the tentorium cerebelli; it is formed anteriorly by the merging of the great cerebral vein with the inferior sagittal sinus, and passes horizontally and posteriorly to the confluence of sinuses. Synonym: sinus rectus, tentorial sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic vein | <anatomy, vein> Vein formed by the union (at the hilus of the spleen) of several small veins from the stomach, pancreas, spleen and mesentery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberculosis, splenic | Infection of the spleen with species of mycobacterium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| familial splenic anaemia | <disease> A chronic congenital disease of lipid metabolism caused by a deficiency of the beta-glucocerebrosidase enzyme. The defect is most common in Ashkenazi Jews. Clinical features are hepatosplenomegaly (enlargement of liver and spleen) and in severe early onset forms of the disease, with neurological dysfunction. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fever, splenic | Known also as anthrax, splenic fever is a serious bacterial infection. It is not primarily a human disease but rather an infection of animals. Cattle, sheep, horses, mules, and some wild animals are highly susceptible. Humans (and swine) are generally resistant to anthrax. Anthrax can take different forms. With the lung form of the disease. People inhale the anthrax spores and, if untreated, are likely to die. An intestinal form is caused by eating meat contaminated with anthrax. But most human anthrax comes from skin contact with animal products. Cutaneous (skin) anthrax was once well known among people who handled infected animals, like farmers, woolsorters, tanners, brushmakers and carpetmakers in the days when the brushes and carpets were animal products. The hallmark of skin anthrax is a carbuncle, a cluster of boils, that ulcerates in an ugly way. Typically this lesion has a hard black centre surrounded by bright red inflammation. This accounts for its name, anthrax , the Greek word for coal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abdomen, acute | Clinical syndrome characterised by abdominal pain of great severity associated with other symptoms and signs, usually those of acute peritonitis, which might well be the result of a ruptured abdominal viscus or a similar abdominal catastrophe requiring urgent surgical operation.
