Abstract
A case of splenic torsion is presented in an adult with the polysplenia syndrome. The factors predisposing to splenic torsion are discussed. Splenic torsion may mimic acute appendicitis. The recommended treatment is splenectomy. The polysplenia syndrome may often be undiagnosed when cardiac defects are mild or absent.Entities:
