On the Nature of the Small Splenic Vessels

Abstract

The author compared a total of 1,140 spleens from persons of all possible ages and diseases. Among these, 600 = 53% show changes in their small vessels. The small arteries in the trabeculae after their 'brush-like' partition are particularly involved here, as are the smallest precapillary arteries. The change which was found here with great frequency consists in the strong thickening and bulging of the vascular wall on the inside, presenting a regular hyaline character.
