Wandering spleen, which is torsioned with the distal pancreas

There are many causes of acute abdominal pain. One of them is wandering splenic torsion. We aimed to discuss a case in which the distal pancreas and spleen were torsion together and underwent splenectomy in the light of the literature. A 19-year-old male patient with sudden onset of abdominal pain u...

description There are many causes of acute abdominal pain. One of them is wandering splenic torsion. We aimed to discuss a case in which the distal pancreas and spleen were torsion together and underwent splenectomy in the light of the literature. A 19-year-old male patient with sudden onset of abdominal pain underwent splenectomy after physical examination and imaging revealed splenic torsion. Early diagnosis is important as life-threatening complications may develop. Emergency surgery should be performed in patients with splenic ischemia. It should be kept in mind that the pancreas may be torsioned along with the spleen. Surgeons need to be careful during splenectomy to avoid injury to the pancreas.
