Spleen

This presentation contains 11 slides. The first three slides are refreshers on the position of the spleen within the abdomen. The spleen is the most left lateralised abdominal organs. The spleen is caudal to the liver and stomach, medial to the abdominal wall. The spleen is cranial and lateral to the left kidney, stomach and left pancreatic lobe. The spleen is cranial and lateral to the small intestine, descending portion of the colon and urinary bladder. The position of the spleen is then illustrated on ultrasonographic still images and videos.
