Splenic infarction is a rare disorder. We have treated 4 patients during the last year. Abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant was the common complaint. Other complaints were fever, nausea and vomiting. Computed tomography showed infarcted areas in the spleen in all of the patients. Splenectomy was applied to three of the patients with recurring symptoms. The other patient had the first episode treated medically. Pulmonary embolism in one and surgical wound infection occurred in another patient during postoperative follow-up for nine (range: 4-14) months.
