Wandering spleen causing acute abdomen

Mohammad Al Shobaki, Majdi Al Soudi.


Abstract
Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity characterized by abnormal spleen position due to its long vascular pedicle. Congenital maldevelopment and acquired laxity of the splenic’s ligaments due to processes such as trauma, pregnancy and connective tissue disease are two known causes of this condition. The most common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, abdominal mass and acute abdomen. Treatment options depend on the presenting condition. We will present a case of torsion of wandering spleen treated by splenectomy in our hospital.

Key words: Wandering spleen, torsion, splenectomy, acute abdomen
