Relating to or involving both the stomach and the spleen, two organs located near each other in the upper left abdomen.
From gastro- (stomach) + splenic (from Greek splen, meaning 'spleen'). This anatomical term describes the shared blood vessels and peritoneal connections between these organs.
The spleen is one of those organs people don't think much about until it ruptures—but it's actually crucial for fighting infections, and it sits right next to the stomach!
