Cranial border

Margo cranialis

Definition

Antoine Micheau

The spleen has two borders :
  • Cranial border: convex and smooth, close proximity to the diaphragm and stomach, particularly the greater curvature of the stomach.

  • Caudal border: straighter or slightly concave, lies adjacent to loops of small intestine, the greater omentum, and the left abdominal wall.
