Abstract:
A 12-year-old girl who had had an operation for a posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia was admitted to the hospital because of enuresis. Physical examination and radiologic studies revealed the spleen behind the urinary bladder, left-sided hydronephrosis, and a high volume of residual urine. The hydronephrosis and residual urine resolved immediately following splenectomy.
