Splenoptosis, a rare congenital anomaly, can now be diagnosed non-invasively using ultrasonography and scintigraphy. This case highlights successful treatment with splenopexy, preserving the spleen and avoiding splenectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Gastrointestinal Development

Background:

  • Splenoptosis, a rare congenital fusion anomaly of the dorsal mesogastrium in children, is infrequently diagnosed preoperatively.
  • Historically, splenectomy was a common treatment for symptomatic splenoptosis.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old patient presented with splenoptosis.
  • Diagnosis was achieved preoperatively using ultrasonography and isotope scintigraphy.

Findings:

  • The study presents a case of splenoptosis diagnosed non-invasively.
  • The patient was successfully treated with splenopexy, a spleen-preserving surgical technique.

Implications:

  • This case emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing splenoptosis.
