title: [Arterial vascularization of the tail of the pancreas].
abstract: Concerning acute pancreatitis following splenectomy, the authors studied the arterial blood supply of the pancreas, by means of 30 dissections, injections and radiographies; they described three types of arteries, of which origin, length, diameter, entry-point in the gland and distribution were studied; the vascular etiology pancreatitis following splenectomy does not appear probable.
