Torsion of wandering spleen as a rare reason for acute abdomen: A presentation of two cases.

Abstract

Wandering spleen is a rare disease that is clinically characterized by torsion of the pedicle. The congenital absence of ligaments anchoring the spleen to the left sub-phrenic area or an acquired looseness is the major reason behind its mobilization. Unless splenic torsion occurs and acute abdominal clinical symptomatology develops, clinical diagnosis is highly challenging due to lack of symptoms. This study aims to share the information acquired from two encountered cases accompanied by the relevant literature.
