Abstract

Wandering spleen is the displacement of the spleen from its normal location due to the loss or weakening of ligaments that hold the spleen in the left upper quadrant. The possibility of torsion of the spleen is high due to the long and mobile nature of the vascular pedicle. Generally, cases are asymptomatic. Under conditions of delayed diagnosis, symptoms of splenomegaly, left portal hypertension, gastric fundal varices, and hypersplenism may present as a result of development of vascular congestion associated with chronic torsion. There are only a few cases in the literature reporting the association of wandering spleen and fundal varices. We report herein the case of a 55-year-old female who admitted to our clinic with complaints of fatigue and epigastric pain. She was determined to have gastric fundal varices and hypersplenism secondary to the development of left portal hypertension due to chronic splenic torsion.

Özet

Gezici dalak; dalağı sol üst kadranda tutan bağların yokluğu veya gevşekliği nedeniyle normal yerleşim yerinde olmamasıdır. Vasküler pedikülünün uzun olması ve aşırı hareketliliği nedeniyle dalağın torsiyone olma olasılığı yüksektir. Genellikle olgular asemptomatiktir. Tanıda gecikilmesi durumunda dalağın kronik torsiyonuna bağlı vasküler konjesyon gelişmesi nedeniyle; splenomegali, sol portal hipertansiyon, gastrik fundal varisler ve hipersplenizm bulgularıyla prezente olabilir. Gezici dalak ile fundal varis birlikteliği literatürde bildirilen birkaç olgu ile sınırlıdır. Bu yazımızda halsizlik, epigastrik bölgede ağrı şikâyetiyle klniğimize başvuran 55 yaşında bir bayan hastada kronik splenik torsiyon sonucu ortaya çıkan ve sol portal hipertansiyona sekonder oluşan gastrik fundal varis ve hipersplenizm bulgularıyla başvuran bir olgu sunulmuştur.
