*In 1919, Morris and Bullock provided initial [[experimental]] evidence of the protective role of the [[spleen]] against [[infections]].<ref name="pmid21474172">{{cite journal| author=Di Sabatino A, Carsetti R, Corazza GR| title=Post-splenectomy and hyposplenic states. | journal=Lancet | year= 2011 | volume= 378 | issue= 9785 | pages= 86-97 | pmid=21474172 | doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(10)61493-6 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21474172  }} </ref>

It is understood that [[Asplenia]] is a variety of clinical settings, and it can refer to an [[anatomic]] absence of the [[spleen]] or [[functional asplenia]] secondary to a variety of [[disease]] states. <ref name="pmid30844198">{{cite journal| author=| title=StatPearls | journal= | year= 2021 | volume=  | issue=  | pages=  | pmid=30844198 | doi= | pmc= | url= }} </ref>

Asplenia is caused by either congenital, functional, or acquired conditions.
*'''Congenital asplenia'''
**Is a very rare anomaly that has been reported in both infants and adults.
**'''Infantile''' cases are almost invariably associated with serious congenital malformations of the [[cardiovascular]], [[gastrointestinal]], and [[pulmonary]] systems that are not compatible with long life.
**These include [[atrioventricular]] communist, [[pulmonary stenosis]] or [[atresia]], anomalies of the [[aorta]] and [[great vessels]], complete or partial [[situs in versus]], [[anomalies]] of the [[mesenteric]] and [[accessory lobes of the lungs]].
**In the '''adult''' [[splenic]] [[agenesis]] is usually an isolated and unexpected finding.<ref name="pmid13322226">{{cite journal| author=MYERSON RM, KOELLE WA| title=Congenital absence of the spleen in an adult; report of a case associated with recurrent Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 1956 | volume= 254 | issue= 24 | pages= 1131-2 | pmid=13322226 | doi=10.1056/NEJM195606142542406 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=13322226  }} </ref>
