Overview
Historical Perspective
- In 1919, Morris and Bullock provided initial experimental evidence of the protective role of the spleen against infections.[1]
- In 1952, King and Schumacker reported a series of cases of overwhelming post-splenectomy infections (OPSI) caused by encapsulated bacteria.
- In 1955, Rowley has demonstrated that splenectomized human beings fail to respond with a significant rise in antibody titer when an antigen is given intravenously.[2]
Classification
Pathophysiology
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. [3]
Causes
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.[2]
- Acquired asplenia associated after trauma or surgery.[4]
- Functional asplenia include sickle cell anemia.[4]
