Abstract

Torsioned wandering spleen should be considered in patients who have an intrapelvic mass with acute abdominal symptoms. Nowadays, color Doppler US and CT are easily achievable and are highly accurate for indicating the correct diagnosing in such patients. Using these two modalities together will increase the ability for correct diagnosis.
