Abstract

Wandering spleen resulting in torsion of the spleen is a rare clinical entity. It may result in acute abdomen. Wandering spleen results from congenital maldevelopment or acquired laxity of the splenorenal,gastrosplenic and splenocolic ligaments connecting the spleen with the surrounding tissues. Splenic torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen.We report the case presented as acute abdomen and diagnosis of wandering spleen was confirmed with physical examination, abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography and splenectomy was carried out.

Özet

Gezici dalak ve buna bağlı gelişen dalak torsiyonu akut karın tablosuna neden olabilen ve nadir görülen bir durumdur. Gezici dalak; dalağın stabilizasyonunu sağlayan splenorenal, gastrosplenik ve splenokolik ligamanların konjenital gelişim bozukluğundan, gevşek olmasından ya da olmamasından kaynaklanır. Dalak torsiyonu nadir görülen bir akut karın nedenidir. Bizim olgumuzda da hasta akut karın ile kliniğimize başvurmuş ve fizik muayene, karın USG, karın BT ile gezici dalak torsiyonu tanısı konularak acil ameliyata alınmış ve splenektomi yapılmıştır.
