摘要：

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity characterised by splenic hypermobility resulting from laxity or maldevelopment of the suspensary gastrosplenic, splenorenal, and phrenicocolic ligaments. Diagnosis is quite difficult because of the lack of symptoms and signs until splenic torsion have occured. In this article, we present and discuss a 23-year-old caucasian woman presenting with acute abdomen, diagnosed as splenic torsion by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging and managed surgically.
