NOTCHES OF THE SPLEEN
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
The spleen shows various notches along the superior margin extending to the visceral surface i.e. gastric area. Few notches are extending on to the diaphragmatic surface. Few notches are observed along the inferior margin. These notches are of developmental significance they represent the foetal lobulated spleen. In the present study 60 spleens from embalmed cadavers were collected during routine dissection in the department of Anatomy in a period of 6yrs. They are preserved in 10% formalin solution. In the present study of splenic notches we observed that out of 60 spleens only 42 (70%) spleens showed splenic notches. The remaining had tubercles and thumb like projections.
