Mom of young adult son who had a 17x17x13 cm cyst on the spleen. It was drained for 6 weeks. He went in to get the drain removed. They decided to do sclerotherapy with betadine. He was pumped with betadine and told to roll around to cover the inside of the cyst. Then they let it sit there for over an hour. The IR Dr then pulled the betadine back out of the cyst and removed the drain. What no one realized the cyst was still bleeding and bled into the abdomen. The blood then clogged the kidney vessel. He has been in renal failure for 3 weeks now. They are doing dialysis 3 days a week. The surgeon is now suggesting he wait 3-6 months before having a splenectomy done. I can't figure out why waiting is a good idea?
