Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of the study had been to note the presence of notches and fissures in 60 spleens. The study was done on 60 spleens of both sexes obtained from autopsy of dead bodies in the Department of Forensic Medicine and variations noted in the Department of Anatomy. The notches were observed on the upper border in 51 samples (85%) and on the lower border in 5 samples (8.33%). 6.67% of the spleen samples presented with fissures on the upper border and lower border each. Notches and fissures are quite a common occurrence in spleen. Notches on superior border are clinically significant as they assist in palpation of spleen during splenomegaly. Information of notches and fissures on the lower border of spleen are important during splenic surgeries and radiological investigations. In the present study; the notches and fissures have been noted on the 60 spleen samples.
