SONOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS OF THE SPLEEN IN RELATION TO AGE; A PROSPECTIVE STUDY IN EASTERN NEPALESE ADULTS.
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
To establish the normal range of the splenic dimensions in East Nepalese adult population ,we used ultasonography to examine 120 subjects ( 60 males and 60 females ),15 each of age group 31-40yrs,41-50yrs,51- 60yrs,61-70yrs ; not known to have any condition likely to be associated with splenic enlargement . Splenic length was measured on longitudional coronal image from dome to tip though the hilum. On transverse coronal plane, measurement of the width of the spleen was made at the hilum,followed by thickness measurement taken in the longitudional coronal plane a at a point bisecting the line indicating length .The results show that the splenic length ,width and thickness decreased with increase in age in both male and female .All the dimensions were greater in male than in female.
