The "WebViewer" shows the close vicinity of the spleen to Cauda pancreatis and Flexura coli sinistra. In the case of pathological enlargement, the spleen can press on the stomach and colon and cause severe pain. The spleen develops in the Omentum majus, which is a dorsal mesentery according to history. The rotation of the stomach shifts the spleen, which initially lies behind the intestinal tube, into the left upper abdomen.
