Overview
Banti's syndrome is a condition in which chronic congestion of the
spleen leads to the premature destruction of red
blood cells (hypersplenism).
Characteristics
In Banti's syndrome blood becomes obstructed in the hepatic portal
vein, there is an increase in the size of the spleen (splenomegaly)
and in blood pressure. Banti's syndrome is no longer very widely
used; most often the syndrome is referred to as hypersplenism or
splenomegaly.
