Table 2 Spleen organ injury scale. [75]
From: Angiography and embolisation for solid abdominal organ injury in adults - a current perspective
I | Haematoma Laceration | Subcapsular, <10% surface area Capsular tear, <1 cm parenchymal depth |
|---|---|---|
II | Haematoma Laceration | Subcapsular, 10% to 50% surface area; intraparenchymal, <5 cm in diameter Capsular tear, 1 cm to 3 cm parenchymal depth that does not involve a trabecular vessel |
III | Haematoma Laceration | Subcapsular, >50% surface area or expanding; ruptured subcapsular or parenchymal haematoma; intraparenchymal, haematoma >5 cm or expanding >3 cm parenchymal depth or involving trabecular vessels |
IV | Laceration | Laceration involving segmental or hilar vessels producing major devascularisation (>25% of spleen) |
V | Haematoma Laceration | Completely shattered spleen Hilar vessel injury devascularises spleen |
