Figure 2. Case 2. (A) CT post-contrast axial image of the abdomen showing splenic vein thrombosis and pancreatitis. Red arrow points to splenic vein thrombosis and pancreatitis. (Filling defect in splenic vein with enlarged low-density pancreas and peripancreatic infiltration compatible with pancreatitis. The entirety of the splenic vein could not be displayed on this axial image given its curving and oblique trajectory, but there is no contrast present in the remainder of the splenic vein on other images). (B) CT post-contrast T1 axial image of the abdomen showing recanalized splenic vein and resolved pancreatic inflammation. Red arrow points to resolved splenic vein thrombosis and pancreatitis. (Normal opacification of the splenic vein to the splenic hilum. Resolved peripancreatic inflammatory changes. Decreased size of the pancreas.)
