Fig. 5. —Drawing of sagittal section of transverse mesocolon and
greater omentum shows spatial relationship between splenic vein (SpV), short
gastric vein (SGV), gastroepiploic vein (GEV), marginal vein along transverse
colon (MV), and epiploic vein (EV). When splenic vein is occluded, four
anatomically possible pathways exist that splenic venous flow drains: short
gastric vein, gastroepiploic vein in gastrocolic ligament, epiploic vein in
greater omentum, and marginal vein of transverse colon in transverse
mesocolon. P = pancreas.
