J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;19(2):123-4.

Wandering spleen is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Generally, it remains asymptomatic, it may present clinically as a painless mobile mass or rarely as an acute abdomen when the wandering spleen twists on its pedicle, resulting in splenic congestion, infarction with or without involvement of neighbouring visceras. Here, we present an unusual case of torsion of a wandering spleen, which resulted in congestive splenomegaly and small bowel obstruction as a rare case of acute abdomen.
