Figure 1. Case 1. (A) Computed tomography scan (CT scan) post-contrast axial image of abdomen showing splenic vein thrombosis and pancreatitis. Red arrow points to the splenic vein thrombosis and pancreatitis. (Filling defect in splenic vein with enlarged low-density pancreas and peripancreatic infiltration compatible with pancreatitis). (B) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 post-contrast axial image of the abdomen showing resolved splenic vein thrombosis and normal pancreas. Red arrow points to resolved splenic vein thrombosis and pancreatitis. (Normal opacification of the splenic vein. The entirety of the splenic vein could not be displayed on this axial image given its curving and oblique trajectory but is normally opacified to the spleen on other images. Normal enhancement of pancreas and resolved peripancreatic inflammation).
