Abstract:
An 8-year-old mixed breed dog, was referred for lethargy, abdominal discomfort, hematemesis, and melena. Abdominal ultrasound revealed mineralization of the “right splenic vein” with collateral spiraling and a suspected splenic duplication. Computed tomography confirmed the duplication along with torsion of the splenic pedicle. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the splenic torsion associated with congestion of the gastrointestinal vessels, indicative of a chronic onset of secondary regional splenic vein hypertension.
