Torsion of a wandering spleen is a rare disease. The symptoms and signs of this condition are only present when the splenic pedicle torts. The etiological factors are the congenital absence of the ligaments that hold the spleen in its normal anatomic position, or the relaxation of these ligaments resulting from conditions like trauma and abdominal surgery. We aimed to present a rare case with torsion of wandering spleen that consequently developed thrombosis of portal vein and its branches, taking into consideration the relevant literature.
游走脾扭转是一种罕见疾病。这种情况的症状和体征仅在脾蒂扭转时出现。病因是先天性缺乏将脾脏固定在正常解剖位置的韧带，或因创伤和腹部手术等情况导致这些韧带松弛。考虑到相关文献，我们旨在呈现一例游走脾扭转并继而发生门静脉及其分支血栓形成的罕见病例。
