ABSTRACT
Torsion of a wandering spleen is an unusual cause of an acute abdomen and is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. A splenectomy is the treatment of choice in cases of splenic torsion and infarction, while in patients with chronic symptoms, splenopexy may be attempted. I report a case with acute splenic infarction in a young male and review the clinical presentation, etiology, diagnostic procedures and treatment modalities in a wandering spleen.
