Abstract:
Wandering spleen is a rare entity that defines abnormal localization of spleen due to various causes. Wandering spleen is prone to rotate on its peduncular axis and finally torsion and infarction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography can visualize the torsioned peduncle and non-enhanced parenchyma with contrast medium. A 60-year-old woman who had abdominal pain was admitted to ER. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography depicts the abnormal localization of spleen and absence of contrast medium in the parenchyma and peduncle. Diagnosis was torsioned wandering spleen. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is very important useful modality for diagnosis of torsioned wandering spleen.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
