Anatomical terminology |
The gastrosplenic ligament (also known as the ligamentum gastrosplenicum or gastrolienal ligament) is part of the greater omentum.
Structure[]
The gastrosplenic ligament is made of visceral peritoneum.[1] It connects the greater curvature of stomach with the hilum of the spleen.[1][2]
It contains the short gastric arteries, short gastric veins, the left gastroepiploic artery, and the left gastroepiploic vein.[citation needed]
Development[]
Embryonically, the gastrosplenic ligament is derived from the dorsal mesogastrium.[3]
Clinical significance[]
Gastrosplenic ligament entrapment[]
Small intestine may loop through a perforation in the gastrosplenic ligament, ending lateral to the spleen and stomach.[1] This is known as gastrosplenic ligament entrapment, and is usually caused by abdominal trauma.[2] This is corrected with surgery.[1]
