Hi and thanks for the query,
The spleen has nothing to do with respect to causing this condition. However, the spleen is usually involved on the process. Based on the major findings that shall be obtained from the spleen scan, this shall permit to confirm the diagnosis, or think of some other pathology. this shall be important in better adapting and drawing up an appropriate management plan. thanks and kind regards
