Abstract

Wandering spleen is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen in children. Diagnosis of this condition is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms, varying intensity and protracted history of presentation. Radiographs and ultrasound imaging provide rapid and reliable means to diagnose this condition without exposure to excessive radiation. We present a case of a torsed wandering spleen in a child with recurrent abdominal pain. We highlight the role of imaging in identifying salient radiographic and sonographic signs for diagnosis.
