INTRODUCTION: Splenic infarction is a rare event in clinical practice, diagnosed by CT scan. There are many causes. They often determine the treatment given. However, there is no consensus on etiological investigations.

METHODS: We present here an almost systematic review of the literature, based on data available on Pubmed from 1991 to 2022. Using the keywords "splenic infarct", from 1893 references, 11 cohort studies and 867 clinical cases were included in this review. Articles written in languages using alphabets other than Latin were excluded.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of these various studies has enabled us to draw up a list that is intended to be as exhaustive as possible of the causes of splenic infarction. The most frequent are emboligenic heart disease, hematological malignancies, solid neoplasia and certain infections. The descriptions available in the literature were mainly based on isolated clinical cases, not always making it possible to establish a causal link with the disease described, especially as around 20% of reported cases of splenic infarction were asymptomatic and potentially of incidental discovery. Based on the findings of this literature review, we propose a protocol for the etiological assessment of splenic infarcts.
