description | Wandering spleen is a rare condition, occurring due to either abnormal development of or abnormal laxity of suspensory ligaments. The hypermobility of the spleen predisposes these patients to splenic torsion, which may be a life-threatening complication. The clinical presentation of wandering spleen varies widely from vague pain to an acute abdomen. There are numerous case reports of other congenital anomalies in children with a wandering spleen. We present a case of wandering spleen with splenic torsion in a child with DiGeorge syndrome, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported. |
