Abstract

Wandering spleen is a very rare condition with an estimated incidence of 0.2%. Clinical presentation of wandering spleen can vary from asymptomatic to an abdominal emergency. In this report, we present a two-year-old girl with acute intestinal obstruction due to the torsion of wandering spleen. We successfully performed the splenopexy procedure in a 2-year-old patient who came with an acute intestinal obstruction.

Key words: Intestinal obstruction; splenopexy; torsion; wandering spleen
