Özet

Wandering spleen is a rare entity that defines abnormal localization of spleen due to various causes. Wandering spleen is proneto rotate on its peduncular axis and finally torsion and infarction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography can visualize thetorsioned peduncle and non-enhanced parenchyma with contrast medium. A 60-year-old woman who had abdominal painwas admitted to ER. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography depicts the abnormal localization of spleen and absence ofcontrast medium in the parenchyma and peduncle. Diagnosis was torsioned wandering spleen. Contrast-enhanced computedtomography is very important useful modality for diagnosis of torsioned wandering spleen.
