A Bridge to Banding: Splenic Artery Embolization in Hepatosplenic Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. The severe form of disease, caused by deposition of Schistosoma eggs in the portal vein, is known as hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman with esophageal varices in the setting of hepatosplenic...

description Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. The severe form of disease, caused by deposition of Schistosoma eggs in the portal vein, is known as hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman with esophageal varices in the setting of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. This patient underwent partial splenic artery embolization to treat thrombocytopenia secondary to splenic sequestration. After embolization and improvement of cell counts, the patient was successfully able to undergo variceal band ligation.
