Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomographic Findings of the Wandering Spleen: A Case Report

Wandering spleen is a rare entity that defines abnormal localization of spleen due to various causes. Wandering spleen is prone to rotate on its peduncular axis and finally torsion and infarction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography can visualize the torsioned peduncle and non-enhanced parenchyma...

description Wandering spleen is a rare entity that defines abnormal localization of spleen due to various causes. Wandering spleen is prone to rotate on its peduncular axis and finally torsion and infarction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography can visualize the torsioned peduncle and non-enhanced parenchyma with contrast medium. A 60-year-old woman who had abdominal pain was admitted to ER. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography depicts the abnormal localization of spleen and absence of contrast medium in the parenchyma and peduncle. Diagnosis was torsioned wandering spleen. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is very important useful modality for diagnosis of torsioned wandering spleen.
