Acute Torsion of Wandering Spleen: Report of One Case
Wandering spleen is a rare condition that can lead to splenic infarction or rupture if torsion persists. Early diagnosis and intervention are necessary, and abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography are well accepted as the most useful diagnostic imaging modalities. In this study,...

| description | Wandering spleen is a rare condition that can lead to splenic infarction or rupture if torsion persists. Early diagnosis and intervention are necessary, and abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography are well accepted as the most useful diagnostic imaging modalities. In this study, we present a boy with splenic infarction due to acute torsion of a wandering spleen, after initial failure to demonstrate an ectopic spleen. Instead, acute torsion of the wandering spleen with spontaneous partial detorsion was incidentally found by multi-detector row CT with angiography. The patient was managed by splenectomy instead of splenopexy, because of poor reperfusion after laparoscopic detorsion. |
