Abstract

Torsion of the wandering spleen is an unusual cause of an acute abdomen, rarely diagnosed preoperatively. A case which was suspected prior to surgery and confirmed by radionuclide imaging was described. Radiographic findings in the patient included an extrinsic mass on Ba-enema examination and absence of the splenic shadow in the left upper quadrant.
