Wandering spleen is a rare condition in which the spleen is hypermobile due to laxity or lack of its supporting ligaments. It can be located anywhere in the abdomen besides its usual position. The other terms that are used to describe this condition are splenic ptosis, displaced spleen, dislocated spleen and ectopic spleen. Splenic torsion is a dreaded complication and the usual cause of symptoms. There is a high chance of missing the diagnosis as it remains asymptomatic or may be incidentally discovered on radio-imaging done for a different purpose. An acute abdomen is the most common presentation. Here we describe an unusual case presenting with torsion of the wandering spleen that was adherent to the right ovary.
游走脾是一种罕见的疾病，由于其支撑韧带松弛或缺失，脾脏变得过度活动。它可以位于腹部的任何位置，而不仅仅是通常的位置。描述这种情况的其他术语包括脾下垂、移位脾、脱位脾和异位脾。脾扭转是一种可怕的并发症，也是常见的症状原因。由于它可能无症状，或者可能在为其他目的进行的放射成像检查中偶然发现，因此很容易漏诊。急性腹痛是最常见的表现。在这里，我们描述了一个不寻常的病例，表现为游走脾扭转，与右侧卵巢粘连。
