[Isolated thrombosis of the splenic vein in an infant. Splenectomy and reimplantation of splenic tissue].
The authors report a case of an infant affected by isolated thrombosis of splenic vein. They stress the necessity of a precious diagnosis in order to prevent the haemorragic consequences of distrectual portal hypertension. Splenectomy, the only therapeutic mean considered in these patients, has been followed, in our patient, by reimplantation of splenic tissue, in order to prevent the septic complicances (mainly due to pneumococcus) frequently occurring in splenectomized patients.
