Case Discussion
Innumerable small punctate contrast extravasations in a traumatised spleen following motor vehicle accident. This angiographic appearance is often termed 'Seurat spleen' because of a likeness to the artwork of French impressionist Georges Seurat (1859 - 1891) who used a pointillistic technique to create an image out of tiny dots. Proximal splenic artery embolization with coil was performed in this patient who went on to make an uneventful recovery from their splenic trauma.
