Wandering spleen, also known as ectopic spleen, is a rare condition in which the spleen's anatomical location is other than its fixed position in the abdomen's left upper quadrant. The cause of such an abnormality could be due to congenital or acquired factors, which could ultimately lead to torsion and splenic infarct. Given the nonspecific clinical symptoms and the potential complications associated with wandering spleen, computed tomography scans provide a crucial means for proper diagnosis. In this article, we report the case of a 16-year-old female with a diagnosis of wandering spleen with torsion and splenic infarct.
游走脾,又称异位脾,是一种罕见的病症,即脾脏的解剖位置并非其在腹部左上象限的固定位置。这种异常情况的病因可能是先天性或后天性因素,最终可能导致扭转和脾梗死。鉴于游走脾的临床症状不具特异性且存在相关潜在并发症,计算机断层扫描是进行准确诊断的关键手段。在本文中,我们报告了一例16岁女性诊断为游走脾伴扭转和脾梗死的病例。
