2. Figure 1
Left, Dynamic, enhanced, axial, helical computed tomographic image demonstrates intraluminal aortic filling defect consistent with thrombus. Wedge-shaped decreased splenic perfusion is consistent with embolic infarct. Right, Follow-up image of the corresponding level at 3½ weeks shows no evidence of an intraluminal aortic lesion. The splenic infarct has evolved.
