True or False: The splenic vein will be displaced if there is pathology in the left adrenal gland.

The statement is true because the splenic vein runs posterior to the pancreas and often near the left adrenal gland. If there is pathology in the left adrenal gland, such as an adrenal mass or other condition that causes swelling or changes in anatomy, it can lead to the displacement of the splenic vein. This displacement occurs due to direct anatomical relationships; the adrenal gland is positioned close to the splenic vein, and any enlargement or abnormal process can exert pressure on or shift the vein's position.

Understanding this relationship is important for sonographers and radiologists when assessing any potential pathologies in the left adrenal gland and for evaluating the implications it may have on adjacent structures, including the splenic vein. It highlights the interconnectedness of abdominal structures, where one pathology can influence or modify the positioning of surrounding vessels.
