Computed tomography features and surgical treatment of wandering spleen torsion: A case report

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity characterized by the laxity, absence, or abnormal attachment of splenic supporting ligaments leading to hypermobility and abnormal positioning of the spleen in the abdominal cavity. The abnormally increased mobility of the spleen predisposes it to torsion and infarction. Authors present a case of wandering spleen complicated to torsion and infarct in a middle aged lady. The patient presented with acute abdominal pain, diagnosed by abdominal computed tomography and underwent surgery and splenectomy.
