초록
Wandering spleen is a rare condition in which the spleen is not found in its usual location or presentation. Its vascular pedicle can be twisted easily, and compromised vasculature of spleen. Consequently, it may result in splenic infarction requiring diagnosis and treatment. Here we present 2 cases of splenic infarction due to torsion of wandering spleen in 2 adolescent girls who visited the emergency department presenting with abdominal pain. Prompt computed tomography scan led early diagnosis and successful laparoscopic splenectomy. We also reviewed the literature on this entity briefly.
