title: A contribution to the vascular anatomy of the human spleen.
abstract: Our study was done on 45 spleens obtained from the autopsy rooms of the department of pathology and anatomy and forensic medicine institute. We studied the morphology, the presence of accessory lobes of the spleen and branching of the splenic artery. Intraparenchymal ramification of splenic artery and the localization of avascular zones were studied on corroded organs. We performed artificial ruptures on two spleens and we studied their relation to the internal structure of the organ.
