Wandering Spleen, A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen: A Case Report

Abstract

A wandering spleen (WS) is rare and often presents a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. We report a WS in a 16‐year‐old who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and peritonism. Imaging (ultrasound and CT scans), which usually facilitates a prompt diagnosis, was inconclusive, and the diagnosis was made by exploratory laparotomy.
