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.
游走脾是一种罕见的病症，其发生原因是悬韧带发育异常或松弛。脾脏的活动度过高使这些患者易发生脾扭转，这可能是一种危及生命的并发症。游走脾的临床表现差异很大，从模糊的疼痛到急腹症都有。有大量关于游走脾患儿合并其他先天性异常的病例报告。我们报告一例患有DiGeorge综合征的儿童发生游走脾并伴有脾扭转的病例，据我们所知，此前尚无此类报告。
